Ombra, Prosecco Brut

Sparkling wine | Treviso DOC

To sip in the shade… of the belltower!
This Prosecco offers fine aromas of white flowers, fresh grapes and apple. On the palate its ''raw'' style makes it precise and elegant. Its label and name allude to an origin story. In Venice, you often hear locals say "Let's go drink an ombra," an old expression that dates back several centuries. At the time, in Saint Mark's Square, to keep their wine cool, the merchants circled the belltower and followed its shadow!

At the time, in St. Mark's Square, to keep their wine cool, merchants circled their benches around the campanile, following its shadow as the sun moved. This is how this lovely expression was born!

Vallis Mareni

Giovanni Gregoletto's family has been growing and vinifying the famous “Ombra Prosecco” sparkling wine since 1600 at the Vallis Mareni estate, located in the Treviso province in Veneto. Particular attention is paid to the balance between traditions, embodied by the octogenarian patriarch Luigi, and innovations, carried on by his sons Giovanni and Giuseppe.
