Masottina, 'R.D.O. - Le Rive di Ogliano Ponente', Brut Millesimato, Valdobbiadene Superiore, Italy, 2023

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
Elegant straw yellow colour with bright greenish-golden hints. Fine, lingering perlage. The bouquet is fresh and variegated, with clear, intense hints of bergamot, white mulberry, peaches, loquats, melons and acacia blossoms. The rich mix of aromas is completed by lemon balm, thyme, mint and sage. On the palate there are fresh, delicate floral fragrances, enhanced by pleasant mineral hints. The long, well-balanced finish closes with a nuance of lime, ginger and spices.

93 Points - Falstaff
Brilliant greenish yellow with a silvery shimmer. Delicate on the nose, lemon zest, some pear, light mineral notes on the finish. Fine mousse on the palate, beautiful alternation of dancing acidity and great juiciness.
