Masottina, Collection 96, Brut, Prosecco, Valdobbiadene Superiore, Italy, NV

Overview of the Wine
With every harvest for the past more than 75 years the Dal Bianco family has renewed its roots and inspiration. For this family, being winemakers means passing on over the years and generations the continuous thrill of taking care of Mother Nature’s precious gifts.

Masottina wines have their roots in the over 370 hectares of vineyards acquired over the years by the family. Vine growing is the result of synergies between a constantly forward-looking approach and attention to origins, united by a common theme that enhances the different terroirs. These are the factors that inspire the entire vinification process, through to the final selection, to create well-balanced wines, sealed with the names of the locations they represent the most.

The winery is the place where our winemaking spirit is fully expressed, maintaining the promise made years ago by Adriano Dal Bianco, who strived to vinify his grapes accurately and rapidly to keep them from oxidising. Today this approach involves painstaking tasks, from selecting grapes on the vine to getting them to the winery first thing in the morning, where a second selection takes place.

Winemaker's Tasting Notes
A delicate wine, distinguished by a fine, lingering perlage. Golden Delicious apples, pink grapefruit and limes are clearly perceived on the nose; to these are added more delicate hints of pears and plums, together with wisteria flowers. Soft and silky, in the mouth it develops the pleasant freshness of fruit straight off the tree.

91 Points - Falstaff
Brilliant silver with straw yellow and light mousse. A little restrained on the nose. Nice density on the palate, full-bodied, with clear fruit and balanced mousse, good length.
