GIAVI, Italy

The history of the Giavi property dates back to 900 AD and Prosecco has been made there since 1914.

The vineyards cover an area of around 12ha on a hillside overlooking the town of Conegliano. The majority of the harvesting is done by hand and the quality of the resulting wine is high – full of purity and freshness of fruit.

Viticulture

Marco Cuscito worked tirelessly renovating the vineyards, and replanting the vines for Prosecco Superiore DOCG. With only 12 ha of vineyards, careful pruning each year, 60% of the harvest is done by hand, and only estate grown grapes used, the quality of the resulting wine is high, making these very much boutique wines.

Winemaking

Following careful selection and white wine making methods, the wine undergoes a secondary fermentation using the Charmat Method in stainless steel pressurised tanks.
