Description

Discover the hidden gem of the Trevigiane hills with the Riva Cironel Vino Spumante Extra Dry. This exquisite sparkling wine is a testament to the dedication and 'heroic' viticulture of the Bortolin family, whose estate is nestled in the picturesque, steeply sloped landscapes between Guia and Santo Stefano in Valdobbiadene—the spiritual home of high-quality Prosecco.

Born from the Glera grape, which thrives in the unique microclimate and rich soil of this prestigious Italian region, this wine captures the essence of its terroir. The production is a labor of love, following traditional methods that prioritize preserving the delicate, natural aromatics of the fruit without unnecessary additives. Upon pouring, you are greeted with a beautiful pale straw color and a lively, persistent mousse. On the nose, it offers an inviting bouquet of fresh, fruity notes—think crisp green apple and subtle white spring flowers.

On the palate, this 'Extra Dry' sparkler strikes an impeccable balance; it is remarkably gentle and aromatic, showcasing an intensity that speaks to the quality of the selected harvest. Its profile is clean, refreshing, and incredibly versatile, making it the perfect companion for a wide variety of occasions.

Why should you choose this bottle? Unlike mass-produced sparkling wines, Riva Cironel offers an authentic, small-estate experience. It is the ideal wine for those who appreciate craftsmanship and want to taste the soul of the Venetian hills. It serves brilliantly as an aperitif to welcome guests, but its true magic is revealed at the table. Pair this wine with delicate appetizers, such as light bruschetta or seafood salads, and it shines alongside white meat dishes or soft, creamy cheeses. It is also an inspired match for a classic risotto—especially one infused with local radicchio—where the wine’s crisp acidity cuts through the creaminess, leaving your palate refreshed and eager for the next bite. Whether you are hosting a celebration or simply elevating a Tuesday evening dinner, Riva Cironel brings a touch of Italian elegance and genuine passion to your glass.
