Winemaking

Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks, where alcoholic fermentation takes place at a temperature of 17-19°C. The wine remains in the tanks to age until the following spring.

Production of The Froth

After having created the cuvée by blending the two types of wine and having added the yeast cultures selected by Villa Sandi in suitable proportions, the wine is bottled. The bottles are then stored in underground cellars where the temperature and humidity are controlled. Secondary fermentation takes place here and the sparkling wine ages in contact with the lees for at least 60 months. Disgorging is carried out after this period and only after another two months of settling is the sparkling wine ready to be marketed.

Amalia Moretti

In the eighteenth century caves at a time, at a depth ranging from 5 to 10 meters, slowly matures with a wise aging a small amount of Spumante Classico Riserva, obtained from a Cuvée of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay grapes from the best Cru.

The Amalia Moretti Reserve is produced thanks to the knowledge and care of our oenologists and the precious contribution of Jean-Pierre Valade, winemaker in Champagne. This important Reserve dedicated to the founder, Amalia Moretti, arises from the desire to express all the potential of the land in which we have worked for generations. It is a place of secular culture and home of illustrious names, such as Canova, whose works can be visited in the nearby gypsoteca of Possagno.

This superior sparkling wine, with its golden yellow bubbles or subtle rosé hints, ranks among the top wines in the area.

Ever since its establishment, Opere Trevigiane has felt a strong bond with the historical and artistic treasures of its homeland. So on the neck of each bottle there is a loose adaptation of one of Canova’s statues, a detail of the monument to Maria Christina of Austria. The Opere Trevigiane collection in this catalogue pays tribute to the artist from Possagno and some of his works of art, whose vibrant colours transform unyielding marble into the light, harmonious masterpieces. Even the aristocratic bubbles flaunt iridescent wefts, with subtle hues and volitive colours. Each parkling wine features a detail of a sculpture whose shape, energy or sensuality reflects the organoleptic characteristics of the wine itself.

Opere Trevigiane is a sparkling wine made by the Classic Method, and represents a deep-rooted wine by the Classic Method, and represents a deep-rooted wine culture, as ancient as the cellars where it is laid down to mature. These underground cellars stretch for over 1,5 km, deep below the Villa Sandi estate.

Every vintage reflects its own unique characteristics and sensations, buti s always a true reflection of the pleasure of Italian wine.

Records of the province of Treviso date back to the 14th century, when it was the home to numerous poets, troubadours and chivalrous festivals. It has been a cultural centre for centuries and has many famous sons, including Canova, whose works can be seen in the gallery in nearby Possagno which houses a collection of plaster casts.

Opere Trevigiane wines know how to seduce with their authentic perfumes and their subtle aromas which soften and diffuse into a fine elegant perlage. As the artist’s heart captures the fragments of time and transforms them into artistic creations, Opere chooses only the finest vintage grapes and transforms them into the delicious sparkling wines for a taste of poetical character.

Pinot Nero

A black grape vine of French origin. It is said to have been cultivated in Burgundy already 2,000 years ago, well before the arrival of the Romans. There are two types: the fine, used to produce red wines, and the productive from which white and sparkling wines as well as Champagne are obtained. It is a variety that can easly change to give rise to other species, including Pinot Bianco and Pinot Grigio. The name Pinot is owed to the typical cone shape of the small, compact and serrated cluster; the grape itself has a thin dark blue skin and a low tannin content.

Chardonnay

A white grape vine originally from the French namesake district in Burgundy. It was brought to Italy at the end of the Seventies; it is believed to have come from a hybrid createde in Carolingian times (8-10th century). Used pure or blendedwith other grapes to obtain still and sparkling winesa, including Champagne, it is particularly suited to vinification and ageing in wood. The aroma is always fresh and intense. Golden grape with high sugar content.

Classic Method

Tirage

The wine is left to age in bottles placed in stacks sur lattes (on their sides), where the secondary fermentation starts. The yeast deposits form and create the typical aromas of the classic sparkling wine.

Remuage

The bottles are placed on racks (french pupitres) and are delicately turned by skillful hands every day so that the sediment settles on the bottom of the cork.

Dègorgement

The neck of the bottle is frozen and the wine containing the deposit is naturally ejected due to the internal pressure. In this way the rest of the wine remains limpid.

Dosage

Before corking, a quantity of liqueur d’expédition is added to make up for the small loss of wine from the dégorgement, the recipe for this filling solution is one of the winery’s skills.
