Terroir & origin
The ancestral estate Civranetta lies in the hinterland of the Venetian Lagoon, on Benedictine alluvial land whose history dates back to the 16th century. Here, the Glera grapes for this Prosecco grow on soils once cultivated by monks.
Grape variety & vinification
Pure Glera. The name “il fondo” refers to the traditional bottle fermentation on the lees – the wine remains cloudy and alive, almost like a cider. The very opposite of crystal-clear industrial Prosecco.
Food recommendations
Perfect as an aperitif, with antipasti such as melon with Parma ham, or with a cold strawberry soup topped up with Prosecco.
Special features
The Design Edition dresses the wine in a special guise – yet the real highlight lies in the glass: a Col Fondo that undergoes bottle fermentation on its lees, gaining an unusual clarity and depth as a result. Fidora, the oldest organic winery in Veneto, showcases here the aromatic side of the estate – far removed from the sweetish, banal mainstream.
