Masottina‘s awards’ update: GuidaBio awarded the Prosecco Superiore DOCG Costabella and the Prosecco Brut DOC Costabella with respectively a Golden Leaf and 5 Leaves.
Guida Bio is the only national guide dedicated exclusively to wines from organic farming and was created with the aim of promoting the green and eco-sustainable choices of the wine world and other sectors of agricultural production.
Organic farming is a difficult challenge, but it is also a path of responsibility in the production of goods and in safeguarding the opportunities of future generations, environmental sustainability and manufacturing processes.
Today, more and more producers are involved in this world, driven by environmental, social and consumer protection motivations.
Organic is a choice of awareness, ethics, foresight, respect and quality.
Guida Bio was created with the aim of collecting and describing the products and experiences of those who have decided to take this path, with reviews of products and companies that have decided to embrace this agricultural conduct by adhering to strict certification specifications.
Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Costabella Brut
This wine, created by the third generation of the Dal Bianco family, comes from vineyards cultivated using organic methods that observe Nature’s timing, without forcing the plant to produce a high yield and without using chemical fertilisers. The wine is sleek, flavourful and pleasant on the palate with the balance of acidity and softness enhanced in the lingering aromatic finish.
Prosecco Costabella Brut
This elegant, harmonious wine, with its lingering, citrusy finish, reveals balanced acidity and softness in perfect harmony with the Masottina style, here interpreting organically the tradition of Prosecco DOC. Full-bodied, creamy and lively, with excellent harmony of softness and fruity freshness. Elegant and well-balanced, the finish is persistent and citrusy.
COLLECTION COSTABELLA
Vini Prosecco Biologico
The organic soul of Masottina, dedicated to the locality of Costabella, which takes us from Collalbrigo to the G. B. Cerletti Oenology School, Conegliano.
The wines come from the Dal Bianco family’s third generation vineyards, which they have created to give special impetus to the concept of sustainability and environmental friendliness
A passion born in the vineyard
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 220 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 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.
Gravity is their ally in vinification: it starts when the grapes enter the winery, goes through soft pressing and conveys the must to the fermenting vats. Maturation in tanks and careful monitoring lead to Masottina wines, the result of familiar rituals representing outstanding historic terroirs, selection from a single vineyard or clever cuvée blending.
Only in this way can the flavour and aroma potential of each combination be defined, and the wine be able to fully express them in an elegant, limpid product.
The Masottina method is therefore an ancestral link constantly evolving through observance of traditions and interpretation of the future, elements with a common spirit inspired by a unique territory and a family passion with its own unmistakable style.
