heroic work in protecting the vineyard. The soils are a mix of limestone and clay. Thanks to these characteristics, they are able to absorb water, preventing annoying stagnation that could cause the vines to rot. The Foss Marai winery’s training systems fully comply with the specifications. The plants must not be forced in any way, and intensive cultivation systems cannot be used. Due to its unique characteristics, the
Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area is a candidate for UNESCO World Heritage status. The grape variety used to produce Foss Marai Prosecco Valdobbiadene Extra Dry is
100% Glera. It was once called Prosecco, as it came from a locality in Friuli Venezia Giulia. The name Glera was chosen to give it an identity linked to the Valdobbiadene region. The grapes are harvested manually, using crates to avoid premature damage. Once they arrive at the cellar, the grapes undergo a
soft pressing process to extract the
free-run must. This is followed by decanting the must and
clarification. The clear part is inoculated with selected yeasts and placed in an autoclave for the secondary fermentation. This is followed by bottling and release onto the market.
