Alex della Vecchia of Ombretta makes wines in Piave, Veneto in the foothills of the Dolomites having previously learning his craft with the legendary Ernesto Cattel of Costadila. He works without chemicals in the vineyard and a minimal intervention approach in the cellar to create vivid, aromatic wines with zero sulphur additions. 

This vibrant sparkling wine comes from a blend of two thirds Moscato and one third Chardonnay from twenty year old vines planted over volcanic soils in the Colli Euganei. The former was pressed directly, whilst the latter was de-stemmed and fermented on the skins for a month. The wine was put into bottle with a little juice from the same harvest to produce a vibrant, hazy col fondo perfumed with tropical fruits and flowers that just screams aperitivo.
