## About this wine

Cantine Riondo was established in 2008 as the commercial arm of Collis Veneto Wine Group, taking its name from nearby Mount Riondo in Veneto, Italy. Backed by over 2,000 vine growers managing thousands of hectares across Northern Italy, the producer focuses on accessible, estate-grown wines designed for relaxed everyday celebrations.

## Interesting facts

- Named after Mount Riondo located in the Veneto region of Italy.
- Produced via the Charmat (Martinotti) method in pressurized stainless steel autoclaves.
- Backed by a cooperative network of over 2,000 vine growers farming over 6,000 hectares.

## Food pairing

The wine's bright acidity and lively perlage slice through creaminess and soft fats in cheeses and seafood, while its gentle off-dry sweetness perfectly complements savory cured meats.

## Wine making process

Harvested in early September, the Glera grapes undergo soft pressing and temperature-controlled primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks at 16°C. Secondary fermentation is conducted using the Charmat method in pressurized autoclaves prior to bottling and short aging.
