White Gold Venezia DOC Brut
| Denomination | DOC Venezia Bianco Spumante |
|---|---|
| Size | 0,75 l |
| Alcohol content | 11.0% by volume |
| Area | Veneto (Italy) |
| Grape varieties | Chardonnay, Glera, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Meunier, Pinot Nero |
| Aging | Based on the Martinotti method, the second fermentation takes place in an autoclave, a special pressurised steel tank that allows precise control of both pressure and temperature, kept at 14 °C to preserve the fragrance and aromas typical of the original grapes. During the transformation of sugars into alcohol, the yeasts naturally release carbon dioxide, which dissolves into the wine, making it 'sparkling'. At the end of the sparkling process, the wine is cold stabilised, filtered and bottled. |

| Origin | The DOC Venezia area extends from the foothills of the province of Treviso to the Adriatic Sea (province of Venice), that is, from the hills of Conegliano to the lagoon of Caorle |
| Climate | It is characterised by a 'humid temperate' climate, thanks to the protection offered to the north by the nearby Dolomites and the proximity of the sea and lagoon areas. |
| Soil composition | The soils are composed of alluvial material resulting from the melting of Alpine and pre-alpine glaciers and transported by the Piave and Livenza rivers. The area of the high plain has a high concentration of pebbles and gravel that makes the soil light, draining and not too fertile, optimal characteristics for growing vines. It is in these areas that the high quality grapes that give life to this sparkling wine are grown. |
| Cultivation system | Sylvoz |
| Plants per hectare | 2500 - 3000 |
| Yield per hectare | 140 q. |
| Harvest | The bunches of the three varieties that make up the blend are generally harvested around mid-September. The grapes are brought quickly to the cellar to preserve their quality and avoid alterations that could be caused by: mechanical damage, early oxidation, microbial contamination and exposure to the sun. |
| Wine making | This is followed by destemming, soft pressing of the grapes to separate the skins from the must, and finally by decanting or cleaning of the must. Approximately 5% of the starting cuvée includes a barrique period of 6 months. The barriques used for this wine are some in medium-toasted French oak and others in lightly toasted Acacia wood. French oak is a wood that gives the wine elegance and yields noble tannins, while Acacia gives sweetness and less aggressive tannins, with a bouquet reminiscent of honey and vanilla. The first fermentation is completed in steel tanks, followed by the addition of selected yeasts. |
| Aging | Based on the Martinotti method, the second fermentation takes place in an autoclave, a special pressurised steel tank that allows precise control of both pressure and temperature, kept at 14 °C to preserve the fragrance and aromas typical of the original grapes. During the transformation of sugars into alcohol, the yeasts naturally release carbon dioxide, which dissolves into the wine, making it 'sparkling'. At the end of the sparkling process, the wine is cold stabilised, filtered and bottled. |
