Description
What kind of wine it is
Prosecco Brut Ca’ di Rajo is a dry sparkling wine from Veneto with Denomination of Controlled Origin, made from Glera grapes using the Charmat Method. It displays a straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a very fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic profile is elegant, characterised by notes of green apple, pear and pineapple, accompanied by hints of lime, acacia and elderflower. On the palate, it expresses freshness and balanced savouriness, making it an excellent aperitif to accompany fried and raw seafood dishes.
Where it comes from
This Venetian sparkling wine originates from the Treviso area, a region with a strong winemaking tradition. The wine takes its name from the village near Trieste, historically recognised as the cradle of the Glera variety. The Ca’ di Rajo estate protects the vineyard landscape by preserving the ancient Bellussera training system. This complex nineteenth-century technique, based exclusively on manual work, represents an agricultural heritage to be safeguarded. By working carefully among the rows, the winery produces a glass that precisely embodies the character of its land of origin.
How it is produced
The secondary fermentation takes place using the Charmat Method in a pressurised tank, clearly enhancing the primary aromas of the grapes. The process is designed to ensure a Brut style, maintaining lively acidity and a pleasant smoothness. This method enriches the olfactory profile: in addition to the fruit and floral notes, there are delicate nuances of hazelnut and bread crust that lend a measured structural complexity. The sip is harmonious and dry. To preserve its sensory integrity over time, it is recommended to store the wine in cool environments, away from light and sources of heat.
History and Curiosities
The charm of Ca’ di Rajo Prosecco Brut is rooted in the village of the same name near Trieste, considered the true cradle of the Glera variety. The Venetian winery enhances tradition by preserving the historic bellussera cultivation, an ancient nineteenth-century training system based on manual labour and designed to protect the vines. From the union of this precious cultural heritage with modern winemaking technologies comes an outstanding sparkling wine, capable of winning over the most refined palates and achieving prestigious accolades, including the coveted ÖGZ award.
