Caneva da Nani's Col Fondo is 100% Glera grown on steep hillside vineyards in the village of Guia, Valdobbiadene, at 350–400 meters elevation. After fermentation in cement vats, the wine is bottled in early spring with residual sugar and living yeasts still present. Held at 15–18°C for roughly 60 days, the yeasts complete a second fermentation in the bottle, building a soft, fine bead. The wine is never disgorged, leaving the lees settled at the bottom and the wine naturally hazy.
This is the style that Glera farmers in Guia made and drank for themselves before tank-method Prosecco took over in the 1970s and 80s. It was revived in Guia by a small collective of producers, including Caneva da Nani. The wine is sealed with a crown cap rather than a cork — a choice Massimo Canello stands by for purity of refermentation, and one that disqualifies it from Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG labeling, even though all six hectares of estate vineyard fall within that zone.
On the nose: white rose, soft peach, honeydew melon, and a faint hint of toast from the lees. The palate is dry with fine, gentle bubbles — finer than most Prosecco — soft ripe green apple, delicate melon, and a dry yeasty fade on the finish. At 11% ABV it is light and high-toned, with medium-plus acidity keeping it fresh and focused.
No herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used. Fermentation is natural. No sulfur additions for the Col Fondo. The wine is unfined and unfiltered.
