| Vineyard | The Ardenghi vineyards are made up of 20 hectares of south-facing slopes at approximately 150 meters above sea level for this DOC. The soils consist of well-structured clay. Under organic conversion. |
| Vinification | When the aromatic maturity is reached, grapes are hand-harvested in crates with a maximum of 15kg. Immediately undergoing soft pressing, then fermentation in temperature controlled tanks. Once complete, further refinement continues for two months until secondary fermentation using the Charmat method. |
| Pairing | Pairs well as an aperitif, yet goes with the entire meal, particularly with antipasti, white meat and fish courses and can even accompany desserts like panettoni and fruit tarts. |
| Serving | Serve chilled at 39-43˚F in a tulip or flute glass. |
The Ardenghi vineyards plunge their roots into well-structured clay soils of the luxuriant sloping terrain in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region of Treviso. From these sustainably cultivated hillsides, Lorenzo Bormioli and Mattia Ardenghi skillfully produce Prosecco with fine effervescence and vibrant flavour representing a terroir that has always been dedicated to attentive care of vines, and respect for long-established tradition.
Eco-sustainability includes use of bio-diesel tractors, solar powered and geothermal water systems for production facilities and offices. Ardenghi is also currently working towards Fair Trade certification, as all workers are employed by the company on a full time basis and not just seasonally. In addition, all new Glera plantings are organic.
