When it comes to sparkling wines, the Lison Pramaggiore area of the Eastern Veneto region is a point of reference. The Glera grapes used to make Prosecco, are harvested at just the right stage of maturity and are then transformed into a sparkling wine known for its remarkable freshness and aroma. All the organoleptic components, favored by the nocturnal temperature range, remain preserved, together with the acidic structure, resulting in a harmony of flavor.
Tenuta Polvaro Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry
The Tenuta Polvaro Prosecco D.O.C. Extra Dry is the result of a careful selection of the Glera grapes most exposed to the sun. A selectively reduced production involves hand-picking bunches with a higher sugar content, which is balanced by just the right amount of acidity.
Grapes
100%
GLERA
Soil
Good balance of slightly calcareous clays, rich in macro and micro elements.
Cultivation
Sylvoz training system, with a planting density of 3.000 vines per hectare on average, and a production of 120 quintals per hectare on average.
Harvest
Beginning of September.
Vinification
Following a soft pressing, fermentation takes place at a temperature of 17° C for about 12 days. Once this phase is completed, the wine remains on the noble lees for another 2 months in order to obtain greater aromaticity. A second fermentation is carried out in an autoclave according to the Charmat method at a temperature of 17° C for a couple of weeks. At the end, the sparkling wine remains on its lees for another 70-80 days. In this way the wine obtains a level of finesse, elegance and a special creaminess. Subsequently, the wine is stabilised, filtered and bottled with an isobaric filler with the aim of maintaining the appropriate pressure level, omitting oxygen from the bottle and preserving the characteristics of the product.

Good balance of slightly calcareous clays, rich in macro and micro elements.
Cultivation
Sylvoz training system, with a planting density of 3.000 vines per hectare on average, and a production of 120 quintals per hectare on average.
Harvest
Beginning of September.
Vinification
The grapes are processed separately from each other. The Glera is softly pressed and subsequently fermented, for about 12 days, at a temperature of 17° C. At a later time, the wine remains on the noble lees for another 2 months, to obtain more aromaticity. Pinot Nero, on the other hand, after harvesting undergoes a light maceration to facilitate the extraction of color. Then it is fermented in steel tanks at a controlled temperature. At the end of these work phases the blend is formed, which for 30 days starts a second fermentation at 17° C to be carried out in an autoclave according to the Charmat method. Subsequently the sparkling wine remains 70-80 days on its lees to add a special creaminess to its finesse and elegance. The stabilisation process that precedes the filtering and bottling phase, involves an isobaric filler with the aim of maintaining the appropriate pressure level, omitting oxygen from the bottle and preserving the characteristics of the product.
