Caneva da Nani, Col Fondo Bianco Frizzante, NV, 750ml

Description

Caneva da Nani is located in the hilltop village of Guia in the Valdobbiadene of the Veneto. The Canello family has been growing grapes in these mountains for 5 generations and making wine for themselves all along the way, since 1971 in an official way.  Today Massimo is at the helm having taken over for his father Giovanni in the past 10 years though Giovanni remains an integral part of the farming and winemaking tradition ('Nani' is his nickname, hence the winery name.  'Caneva' is Venetian dialect for 'shady spot to sit and drink wine'...I'm not making this stuff up:).  

The 'vin col fondo' is a naturally re-fermented white sparkling wine made with 100% Glera fruit and its must. After a maturation in vats, it is then bottled, and thanks to specific temperature control (15-18°C), the yeast ferments the residual sugars, saturating the wine into bubbles. After about about 60 days, the yeast settles at the bottom of the bottle leaving that unmistakable and unique natural preservative that leads to the wine’s characteristic aroma, texture, and flavor.
