Pinot Noir:

Over the years Masottina has looked for the best plot of land where planting the grape variety Pinot Noir, experimenting the different type of soil, exposure and ventilation, already long before Prosecco DOC Rosé could be produced. The Dal Bianco family has consistently growing this grape variety, using it in the production of sparkling wine. Considering Masottina’s winemaking history, as a matter of fact, Pinot Noir has always been an important grape variety, to which has been dedicated particular attention and resources in finding the best soils and exposure.
