The Pozzobon brothers produce around 70,000 bottles from their vineyards, worked by the family from the 1700s. Since purchasing the land outright from the Venetian state - or ‘from under the watchful eye of the Lion of Saint Mark’ as they put it - they have developed a highly respected range of red, white and sparkling wines.
When, in the 1980s, "organic" was not yet a magic word, the Pozzobon brothers decided to throw calendars on certain dates and learn to listen only to the needs of their plants. They were among the very first in the area to drastically reduce the use of chemicals in the vineyard. The long journey they took with great commitment and conviction towards the conversion to organic was crowned in 2012 by obtaining organic certification.
Case Paolin Pietra Fine Extra Brut Asolo DOCG Prosecco Superiore NV
12.5% abv
Superb new cuvee with a filigree of tense white fruits, alpine flowers and flinty minerals. Long and dry with great breadth and energy.
Asolo Prosecco DOCG “Pietra Fine” from a section of the family vineyard located in Possagno, near the Antonio Canova Temple identified as producing particulary fine fruit. After the selection of the best bunches the grapes are cooled for 18-24 hours at 8°C and pressed off the skins after 12 hours. The second fermentation occurs in pressure tank (Metodo Martinotti) where the wine rests on the lees for about 9 months, before bottling with a very low residual sugar of 2 g/l.
“Wild herbs, crushed rocks and dusty florals create a remarkably fresh yet also characterful bouquet as the NV Extra Brut Prosecco Superiore Pietra Fine blossoms in the glass. This fleshes out across the palate with a silken wave of textural bubbles, ushering in notes of apple and gingery spice. It leaves a buzzing of residual acid tension, along with salty minerals and a subtle twang of sour citrus. The Pietra Fine displays a lovely balance that keeps you coming back to the glass over and over again.”
