Silvano Follador Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature '20
Silvano Follador is anything but a large-scale producer of Prosecco. For one, the winery is located in an area known as Cartizze, a hillside that sits at 1,000 feet above sea level, and has only 107 hectares, divided among 140 growers. If you want to buy one of those hectares, it will cost you somewhere in the neighborhood of 1.5 million euros!
Silvano and Alberta Follador were fortunate to inherit a tiny parcel in Cartizze, specifically near Follo, from their grandfather. With the goal of making the best sparkling wine possible, they created a magnificent winery that produces only 30,000 bottles a year. The vineyards are farmed organically and according to biodynamic principles.
The modern winery features small stainless steel tanks, which help the Prosecco gain complexity since Follador leaves it on its lees for nine months before bottling. The Prosecco has a secondary dosage, but it receives very little sugar, making this a bone-dry style, and one that shows off the purity of the fruit.
