Description
What kind of wine it is
Gabe Clorofilla Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore is an Extra Brut sparkling wine made using the Charmat method. Produced from Glera grapes, it displays a bright straw yellow colour with greenish highlights and a very fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, it weaves together delicate floral notes, aromas of green apple, pear, and fresh citrus hints. On the palate, it proves to be absolutely dry and fresh, skilfully balanced by pronounced acidity and a pleasant savoury component. The finish reveals a persistent mineral note, lending great depth and elegance to the aftertaste.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown on the steep slopes of the Rive di Guia, within the renowned Conegliano Valdobbiadene area. The vineyards, facing south to south-west at an altitude of 260 metres, take root in deep, clay-rich soils. This particular terrain, made up of sand and rock conglomerates, low in limestone and generally acidic, ensures good water retention, allowing the vines to feed deeply. Such geological and climatic conditions impart a natural balance and a distinct mineral character to the wine, clearly defining its identity and structure.
How it is produced
After the harvest, which takes place at the end of September, the bunches undergo gentle pressing to extract only the free-run must. The subsequent static decantation precedes the temperature-controlled fermentation, carried out with selected yeasts. The wine then matures on fine lees for at least three months, enriching its aromatic definition. The secondary fermentation takes place in large tanks for a period of thirty to forty days, according to the rules of the Charmat method. This meticulous technique results in refined effervescence and excellent flavour persistence over time.
History and Curiosities
Born from the intuition of Gabriella Benedetta Vettoretti, Gabe Clorofilla expresses the historic winemaking tradition of the Cartizze hills. The name is a tribute to the vital pigment of plants and embodies the authentic vegetal freshness of this refined Extra Brut. The Glera grapes from the 2024 vintage are grown in the prestigious vineyards of the Rive di Guia, in the heart of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, a UNESCO World Heritage site. A passionate project that enhances the roots of the Veneto region, offering the palate a vibrant and persistent savoury minerality.

After working in the family winery, I decided to undertake a new professional journey which allows me to share my know-how and my experience with other wineries and customers, bringing my ideas about wine to fruition. In this journey, Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG is still protagonist. It is a journey of new horizons, lands, people and products. This is why GABE had two souls: TENUTE and SELEZIONI." Read more
