The Story
The hills of Valdobbiadene, recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2019, hold a winemaking tradition that dates back to the 18th century. Here, where steep slopes and morainic soils create a unique landscape mosaic, the Glera grape finds its utmost expression.
Alma represents the modern soul of this centuries-old tradition. The name itself evokes the concept of "nourishment" and "growth," reflecting the winery's philosophy: cultivating with respect and passion the grapes that give life to elegant and refined sparkling wines. Each bottle tells the story of meticulous work in the vineyard, manual harvesting on the steepest slopes, and artisanal care in winemaking according to the Charmat method.
This Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry 2024 stands out for its sophisticated aromatic profile: floral notes of acacia and wisteria intertwine with fruity hints of Golden Delicious apple, pear, and citrus. On the palate, it is fresh, elegant, and harmonious, with a fine and persistent perlage that caresses the palate. The balanced residual sugar (Extra Dry) makes it versatile and pleasant on any occasion.
Production Area
Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, the heart of the Prosecco hills in Veneto. The vineyards extend over the hilly slopes between Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, at an altitude between 150 and 500 meters above sea level. The terroir is characterized by morainic and clayey soils, rich in minerals, which give the wine its characteristic savoriness and freshness.
The microclimate is ideal for cultivating Glera: temperature excursions between day and night favor the development of complex aromas, while the breezes descending from the Prealps keep the grapes healthy and preserve their natural acidity. This territory, shaped by centuries of human labor, represents a unique example of heroic viticultural landscape.
