Tasting notes

This is Col Fondo as it was always meant to taste: dry, hazy, and gently fizzy, with white rose and peach on the nose giving way to green apple, baked bread, and a clean yeasty finish. The lees contact adds texture without weight, and 11% ABV keeps it honest and drinkable at any time of day.

Caneva da Nani's Col Fondo is 100% Glera grown on steep hillside vineyards in the village of Guia, Valdobbiadene, at 350–400 meters elevation. After fermentation in cement vats, the wine is bottled in early spring with residual sugar and living yeasts still present. Held at 15–18°C for roughly 60 days, the yeasts complete a second fermentation in the bottle, building a soft, fine bead. The wine is never disgorged, leaving the lees settled at the bottom and the wine naturally hazy.

This is the style that Glera farmers in Guia made and drank for themselves before tank-method Prosecco took over in the 1970s and 80s. It was revived in Guia by a small collective of producers, including Caneva da Nani. The wine is sealed with a crown cap rather than a cork — a choice Massimo Canello stands by for purity of refermentation, and one that disqualifies it from Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG labeling, even though all six hectares of estate vineyard fall within that zone.

On the nose: white rose, soft peach, honeydew melon, and a faint hint of toast from the lees. The palate is dry with fine, gentle bubbles — finer than most Prosecco — soft ripe green apple, delicate melon, and a dry yeasty fade on the finish. At 11% ABV it is light and high-toned, with medium-plus acidity keeping it fresh and focused.

No herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used. Fermentation is natural. No sulfur additions for the Col Fondo. The wine is unfined and unfiltered.

The fine bead, dry finish, and mineral salinity make this a natural match for raw oysters, steamed clams, or fried sardines. It also works well as an aperitivo alongside prosciutto crudo, young cheeses, or vegetable fritto misto. Pour it slightly chilled but not ice cold to keep the aromas open.

Important Compliance Requirements

FedEx and other carriers we might occasionally use can only deliver wine to customers who are 21 years or older. Someone must be at the address to receive the package, carriers don't just drop a package and leave. They must ensure the person receiving the wine is 21 or older.

If a package is returned to us after three failed delivery attempts, we can only re-ship the wine upon payment of a re-shipping fee, to be determined based on the shipping address and number of bottles.

If you'd like to receive a refund for a package that was returned to us after FedEx made three delivery attempts, we can do that but we must keep a $20 refund fee; FedEx charges us a lot of money for returns, unfortunately, I can't stress this enough.

If we don't hear anything from you regarding weather issues before an order is shipped, or if you don't request a hold due to the weather, we are not responsible for heat/frost damage.

Producer profile

Caneva da Nani

Caneva da Nani is the winery of the Canello family, located in the hilltop village of Guia in the Valdobbiadene zone of Veneto. The family has grown grapes in these hills for five generations and began operating officially as a winery in 1971. The name combines 'Nani,' the nickname of patriarch Giovanni Canello, with 'caneva,' Venetian dialect for a shady spot to sit and drink wine. Today Massimo Canello runs the operation, with Giovanni remaining involved in farming and winemaking decisions.

The estate covers 6 hectares of 100% Glera planted on slopes so steep that all vineyard work and harvesting must be done by hand. Vineyards sit at 350–400 meters above sea level in soils of mixed clay, limestone, and Dolomite granite. The Canello family farms organically — no herbicides or synthetic pesticides are used — but holds no organic certification.

For the Col Fondo, fermentation takes place naturally in cement vats. The wine is then bottled in early spring, sealed under crown cap, and held at 15–18°C for approximately 60 days while the residual yeasts ferment residual sugars in the bottle. No sulfur is added. The wine is never disgorged, leaving the lees intact. Massimo uses crown caps rather than cork for the refermentation, a practice he considers cleaner and more consistent — the same approach used in Champagne production. This choice disqualifies the wine from Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG labeling under current consortium rules.

Wine region

Veneto, Italy

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG sits in a narrow band of UNESCO-listed hills in the Veneto, between the towns of Conegliano to the east and Valdobbiadene to the west. Vineyards cover roughly 8,667 hectares and rise from 50 to 500 meters above sea level, with the steepest sites — including those around the village of Guia — sitting at 350–400 meters. The region's latitude of 45°N places it between the Alps, which block cold northern air, and the Adriatic, which provides warmth and rainfall averaging 1,250 millimeters annually. The steep hogback ridges face predominantly southeast, creating warm afternoons and significant nighttime temperature drops that preserve acidity in the Glera grape.

Soils across the DOCG are a mosaic of clay, limestone, moraines, sandstone, and local Dolomite granite — the result of both glacial and marine geological origins. Glera is the mandatory base variety and was officially renamed from 'Prosecco' in 2009 when DOCG status was granted, separating the grape name from the geographic appellation. Within the DOCG, the Rive designation covers 43 single-commune sites with vintage-dated, hand-harvested wines, while the 107-hectare Superiore di Cartizze subzone represents the appellation's grand cru. Maximum permitted yields are set at 13.5 tonnes per hectare, lower than the broader Prosecco DOC. A small but growing number of producers in and around Guia produce Col Fondo, the traditional bottle-refermented style that predates the modern Charmat (tank) method.
