2024 Maschio dei Cavalieri, "Rive di Colbertaldo" Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superior DOCG - 750ML

Maschio dei Cavalieri Rive di Colbertaldo showcases the character of Prosecco grown on the steep hillsides of Valdobbiadene, in northeastern Italy’s historic sparkling-wine heartland. The Rive designation identifies grapes from a specific hillside area, giving this 2024 bottling a more focused sense of origin than a broader Prosecco appellation. Fresh orchard fruit, floral lift and a lively, finely balanced palate make it an appealing expression of the region’s hillside vineyards.

Blend: Glera.

Tasting Notes: Crisp pear, Golden Delicious apple and white peach are joined by acacia blossom, lemon zest and a subtle herbal note. The palate is fresh and delicate, with fine bubbles, juicy orchard fruit and a gentle suggestion of almond. Bright acidity carries the wine toward a clean, lightly mineral finish.

Structure: Light to medium-bodied, with a graceful mousse and refreshing acidity. The wine combines the supple fruit typical of Glera with a focused, energetic finish, emphasizing freshness and precision over richness.

Drink Window: Enjoy now through 2028, preferably while its youthful fruit, floral aromatics and lively effervescence remain prominent.

Serving: Serve chilled, around 43–47°F, in a tulip-shaped sparkling-wine or white-wine glass. A few minutes in the glass will allow its delicate floral and orchard-fruit notes to emerge.

Maschio dei Cavalieri Rive di Colbertaldo 2024 is an inviting choice for those looking to explore Prosecco beyond the everyday style. Its hillside origin, fresh fruit and refined bubbles make it particularly enjoyable as an aperitif or alongside prosciutto, seafood, fresh cheeses, light risotto and delicate vegetable dishes.
