The vineyards span gravelly, silty-sand soils along the Piave river plain, trained in Guyot. The estate is certified organic and biodynamic by both Suolo e Salute and Demeter, and all vineyard and cellar work follows the Maria Thun biodynamic calendar.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eColfondo means \"with the bottom\" — a reference to the lees left in the bottle after secondary fermentation. After harvest, grapes are gently pressed, and the must is clarified by cold decantation. Primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts and no added sulfites. The wine rests on its lees for approximately six months, then is bottled in spring to complete secondary fermentation in the bottle. It is never fined or filtered, leaving residual yeast sediment in every bottle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe result is a frizzante with delicate, soft mousse — lighter in bubble pressure than a spumante. Straw yellow with green hues and a hazy appearance, it shows aromas of ripe pear, jasmine, citrus peel, and baked bread. On the palate it is bone-dry, bright in acidity, and light-bodied at around 10.5% ABV. Shaking the bottle redistributes the lees and adds a creamier, spicier texture to the wine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is the ancient method Prosecco was made before the Charmat (autoclave) process became standard. Casa Belfi, a project founded in 1999 by winemaker Maurizio Donadi and producer Albino Armani, is one of the few estates keeping this style alive in the Treviso flatlands.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Casa Belfi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":31998897815645,"sku":"CABEBIAN18C","price":29.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0019\/3363\/9735\/products\/casa-belfi-frizzante-bianco-natural-wine-primal-wine.jpg?v=1780187320","url":"https:\/\/primalwine.com\/products\/colfondo-casa-belfi-prosecco-treviso-natural-wine","provider":"Primal Wine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
