Andreola Nazzareno Pola Dirupo 75cl
€38.99 inc. VAT
L’Etichetta del Fondatore is a sparkling Spumante wine with unique characteristics that was born as a further selection of one of Andreola’s most representative wines : namely Dirupo Brut Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco.
The sparkling wine has a light yellow colour with greenish reflections; the bubbles are thin, numerous and continuous, the foam is creamy. This sparkling wine represents his personal vision of the maximum level of quality that the Valdobbiadene Prosecco denomination is able to give to the grapes, expertly processed in the cellar in the footsteps of his teachings. The arduous selection takes place within disparate territorial situations that give the base wines very different characteristics from year to year, depending on the climatic variables that can influence the quality of the grapes. One can see the elegance of the sandstone, the finesse of the limestone or the depth of the marl alternate as protagonists. This spumante represents the maximum expression of olfactory finesse and elegance that Glera can give in a large territory, without ever losing the pleasantness and delicacy of drinking. Spring blooms of wisteria and hawthorn anticipate hints of pear, apple, white peach and notes of pastry on the nose. The sip is full, rich and persistent, with a savoury finish. This is the elite sparkling wine, a refined aperitif glass and ideal in combination with fresh fish dishes.
With the Founder’s Label, Andreola wants to demonstrate the strength of a large territory, implementing a further selection within a large grape harvest basin, free from a single and limited area of origin. Technically this means that this is not a Prosecco, but we put it under Prosecco for convenience sake. One could consider this to be a Super Prosecco, along the lines of the Super Tuscans :). This elevates this product every year, mitigating the effects that the vintage variables have on the individual plots and always ensuring an excellent drink.

Description
Andreola has invested heavily in the Valdobbiadene area and is privileged to be able to pick and choose from 15 municipalities that make up the denomination. Before proceeding with the creation of this exclusive blend, the founder Nazzareno Pola each year chooses the vineyard that has impressed him most for its pleasantness and elegance and consequently the base wine is kept isolated. Within the territory, there is a notable diversity in the conformation of the soils, the layers and the variety of minerals they contain: in fact, we go from calcareous marls, sandstones and rocky conglomerates to much more evolved and deep soils such as the Feletti.
In this succession of highly variable conditions, there are vineyards that have been planted in areas ranging from an average altitude of about 200 meters above sea level up to touching some of the most extreme points for the cultivation of the vine at an altitude of 500 meters above sea level, where every single operation must be carried out by hand. The high altitude involves conditions of steep slopes: this is why the viticulture that embroiders these hills, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is defined as “heroic”.
