Description

Discover the authentic spirit of the Veneto region with this 'Col Fondo' Vino Frizzante. Unlike mass-produced sparkling wines, this bottle represents the traditional way of making fizz in Treviso—fermented in the bottle and left with its 'fondo' (the lees/sediment). This artisanal approach results in a cloudy, vibrant, and deeply expressive wine that feels alive in the glass.

Upon pouring, you are greeted by a delicate haze and a bouquet of fresh wildflowers, crisp orchard fruits, and the distinct, comforting aroma of freshly baked bread crust derived from the natural yeast sediment. On the palate, it is bone-dry and exhilaratingly crisp, with a bracing acidity and a persistent, fine mineral tension that cleanses the palate. It avoids the sweetness of commercial Prosecco, offering instead a savory, rustic profile that is both sophisticated and incredibly drinkable.

This wine is a quintessential 'vin de soif' (wine of thirst) but possesses enough character to elevate a meal. It is a brilliant companion to the classic Venetian cicchetti, such as fried seafood, cured meats, or creamy cheeses like Taleggio. Because it is unfiltered and contains the lees, it is recommended to let the bottle stand upright for a short time before serving to allow the sediment to settle, or to gently turn it before opening if you prefer a more integrated, creamy texture.

Produced by Da Pian, a historic Treviso-based institution known for its commitment to traditional local products, this wine is a true tribute to the agricultural heritage of the Veneto countryside. It is perfect for those who value minimal intervention winemaking and are looking for a bubbly that tells a story of the land. Whether you are hosting a summer aperitivo or looking for a refreshing start to a dinner, this Col Fondo delivers a genuine, unfiltered experience that is hard to find in conventional sparkling wines.
