About R.D.O. Levante: A Top-Tier Prosecco from a Single Vineyard

The Masottina R.D.O. Levante Extra Dry is an exceptional Prosecco Superiore DOCG and a true flagship of the winery. The name tells its story: R.D.O. stands for Rive di Ogliano, a specific ‘cru’ or single-vineyard site within the renowned Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco region.

This wine is unique due to its specific origin:

  • Vineyard: Levante (East) indicates the eastern exposure where the vines benefit from the gentle morning sun.
  • Vines: The grapes are sourced from vines over 60 years old, which provides depth and complexity.
  • Vintage: It is a Millesimato, meaning all Glera grapes come from a single, outstanding harvest year.

Tasting Notes & Characteristics

  • Color & Perlage: A bright, straw-yellow color with a lively, fine, and persistent bubble.
  • Aroma: Rich and complex with floral scents (linden, acacia) intertwined with fruity notes of pear, apple, bergamot, and grapefruit.
  • Flavor Profile: The taste is lively, saline, and perfectly structured. Flavors of quince and lemon lead to a long, pleasant finish with a subtle, perfectly balanced sweetness.

Vineyard & Winemaking: The Art of Purity

The grapes are harvested by hand and meticulously selected. Masottina employs a unique gravity-fed vinification method. This gentle approach protects the grapes and guarantees the purity of the flavors in the final wine.

Rive di Ogliano

R.D.O. (Rive di Ogliano) is the epitome of Masottina’s wine production.

Silver and 91 points for the Contradagranda Extra Dry

Contrada Granda

Contrada Granda is dedicated to the ancient Contrada Granda, the name of the historic centre of Conegliano. The same history and tradition is found in blending the wines that unite the different spirits of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills to perfectly harmonise the complexity and aromatic intensity of fruit typical of Ogliano, the floral hints of Solighetto and the pronounced acidity of Rolle.

Ogliano

In 2009, when Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore was elevated to DOCG, a new indication was introduced – ‘Rive’, which identifies on the label the municipality or hamlet where the grapes are grown.
Masottina’s  ‘Rive’ wines represent the essence of the territory, they are produced with hand-picked grapes exclusively from a single locality. Ogliano is one of the 43 rive where Terre di Ogliano and the Dal Bianco family cultivate almost 20% of the entire vine planted area.
