PRODUCTION METHOD:
Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG “Spago” interprets the centuries-old local tradition of tying on the cork with string in a contemporary key. This ancient technique once used by winemakers to prevent the corks being forced out of bottles of semi-sparkling Prosecco during the natural fermentation process, was offered to the market once again by Mionetto in 1961. Still today the corks are tied on manually by specialist workers.

In order to obtain elegant, pin-point bubbles, the must is meticulously fermented, then the wine receives a secondary fermentation in pressure fermenters, until it is lightly sparkling, at around 2.5 atmospheres of pressure.
