About Duca di Dolle
The Internal Protocol
Respect for humanity, respect for nature, and above all, the will to be engaged with our future: these are the principles that lead Duca Di Dolle’s organic farming.
The main goal of the Company Property is the natural managing of the Estate and vineyards, from which Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. is produced. As such Duca di Dolle currently subscribes to the Internal Protocol NS0 grant which minimizes the residue of chemical substances in the wine and the environment.
Wine Making
Duca di Dolle’s purposes are simple: minimum manufacturing, maximum selection.
Picked by hand, grapes are carefully selected and subdivided according to their quality, then immediately taken to the winery in refrigerated vehicles to preserve the grape integrity and to avoid anomalous fermentations with negative effects on the wine. Very soft grape pressing is followed by a 24-hour maceration at low temperature (crio-maceration) that helps to extract the primary flavours of grapes and to obtain a more intense-flavoured, fruity nectar. A slow first fermentation of wine is followed by one month of natural re-fermentation and further two months of refining over the so-called “noble yeasts”. In this phase our wines gain the typical perlage, and elegance and longevity are improved. During all these phases, the wine quality is continuously controlled to best monitor the evolution of the new wine reducing human intervention.
