PRODUCTION METHOD:
Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG “Spago” interprets the centuries-old local tradition of tying on the cork with string in a contemporary key. This ancient technique once used by winemakers to prevent the corks being forced out of bottles of semi-sparkling Prosecco during the natural fermentation process, was offered to the market once again by Mionetto in 1961. Still today the corks are tied on manually by specialist workers.

VINIFICATION:
In order to obtain elegant, pin-point bubbles, the must is meticulously fermented, then the wine receives a secondary fermentation in pressure fermenters, until it is lightly sparkling, at around 2.5 atmospheres of pressure.
