Since the 2017 vintage, the word ‘Prosecco’ has no longer appeared on any bottle of Col Vetoraz. A deliberate decision – and a political one. According to the winery, the word is being misused, with the real risk of trivialising and erasing the centuries-old history and distinct character of the hills of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano. Since then, only “Valdobbiadene DOCG” – the sole, true territorial identity. The winery is situated at an altitude of just under 400 metres, at the highest point of the famous Cartizze hill in Santo Stefano di Valdobbiadene. The Miotto family has had roots here since 1838; Francesco Miotto, together with agronomist Paolo De Bortoli and Oenologist Loris Dall’Acqua, founded the current Col Vetoraz in 1993.

The vines for Cuvée 0 are grown in five selected plots in the most favourable locations within the Denominazione, trained using a local variation of the Guyot system adapted to the steep slopes of this landscape. Hand-harvested, fermented at a controlled temperature. Then comes the crucial step: Charmat lungo for 30 to 40 days – significantly longer than the standard, resulting in greater depth and aromatic complexity. No dosage – the house’s most uncompromising interpretation.

Brilliant straw yellow with greenish highlights, fine and persistent bubbles. On the nose: rose, citrus, acacia, vine blossom, white peach, pear – elegant and clear. On the palate, absolutely dry yet velvety and round, with a pleasant freshness. Valdobbiadene – – no other word for it. SUPERIORE.DE

"A brilliant straw-yellow colour with silvery highlights. Fine perlage with a creamy mousse. On the nose, notes of rose, fresh blossoms, apple, white melon and vineyard peach. Lively, agile on the palate with good aromatic complexity. A hint of saltiness that accompanies the flow of the wine. A lingering finish." Falstaff
