Wine Details

BiancaVigna Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Brut "Rive di Soligo"

“Rive” in the local dialect refers to the steep slopes of the Conegliano/Valdobbiadene hills. In fact, BiancaVigna’s Rive di Soligo vineyard is positioned 380 meters (1247 feet) a.s.l. with a 70% slope, making vineyard work particularly laborious. The result, however, is a remarkable “Cru” Prosecco with a bright straw-green color and an inviting nose where minerals and mint are complemented by green apple and white peach. The palate is rich and creamy, with notes of peach and apricot and multilayered, refined floral notes. This is a very fine and elegant wine.

BiancaVigna Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Brut "Rive di Soligo" 2021

Vinous Media (93)- "Pretty nuances of peach, wildflowers and wet stone waft up from the 2021 Prosecco Superiore Rive di Soligo. This cascades across the palate, mineral in style with a chiseled bead of bubbles giving way to tart orchard fruits. A salty flourish lingers through the finish as hints of sour melon slowly fade. The mouth is left watering for more. This is a gorgeous Rive di Soligo. (Lot# 257)."

BiancaVigna Prosecco Superiore Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Brut "Rive di Soligo" 2020

Wine Enthusiast (93)- "Always one of the top expressions from the denomination, the 2020 doesn't disappoint. It opens with heady aromas of hawthorn, ripe orchard fruit and botanical herbs while the dry, elegantly sparkling palate doles out ripe green apple, white peach, fennel seed and crushed rosemary. A yeasty hint of bread dough adds depth while crisp acidity keeps it refreshing. "
