Calmaggiore Prosecco Brut DOC

Massottina operates in Valdobbiadene, the heart of Prosecco DOC in northeastern Veneto, where limestone-rich marl soils and cool morning breezes off the Dolomite foothills define the terroir. The Calmaggiore bottling sources Glera grapes from hillside parcels at 200–300 meters elevation, where diurnal temperature swings preserve acidity and mineral tension.

Charmat method fermentation — the defining technique of Prosecco — occurs in sealed steel tanks rather than bottle, capturing CO₂ in-situ and retaining the wine's delicate aromatics. Brut dosage (residual sugar under 12 g/L) emphasizes the wine's natural dryness and allows the limestone minerality to surface without sweetness masking it.

The special feature here is restraint: many Proseccos drift toward off-dry or demi-sec to broaden appeal, but Calmaggiore commits to true brut classification, letting Glera's green-apple acidity and white-stone salinity dominate. Drink 2024–2026 for maximum freshness and perlage finesse.
