| | Tre Venti, Zardetto's new limited edition single vineyard Prosecco, is the result of Fabio Zardetto's never-ending research into the Prosecco DOCG world. The hill of Ogliano, a village north of Conegliano, enjoys a southern exposure where the term "rive" refers to the most exposed (prized for ripening) part of the hill—much the same as "bricco," "ronco," and "poggio" are used in other regions in Italy. The soil is rich in young clay from its glacial beginnings and it gives this Prosecco hints of spice. Moreover, the source vineyard for Tre Venti (located on the eastern border of the DOCG) is chilled during summer nights by a complex system of three winds (tre venti) blowing from the east. This effect allows the fruit-driven aromas and the fresh acidity of this Prosecco to develop slowly but fully. (from the importer's website) |
