Description
This BiancaVigna Rive di Ogliano Brut Nature is a refined and expressive Prosecco, offering pure Glera fruit, vibrant acidity, and pristine minerality. With its zero-dosage finish and single-vineyard “Rive” provenance, it stands out as a sophisticated sparkling wine with both elegance and backbone.
Origins & Craftsmanship
Produced in the hills of the prestigious Conegliano‑Valdobbiadene DOCG in Veneto (Italy), this wine comes from the “Rive di Ogliano” sub-zone—steep vineyard slopes selected for exposure and soil complexity. The producer, BiancaVigna, uses 100% Glera grapes hand-harvested from these hillside vineyards. The term “Brut Nature” denotes no added dosage (no added sugar after disgorgement), resulting in a very dry, clean expression. Organic or sustainably-oriented viticulture is part of the producer’s ethos, contributing freshness and site-expression.

Tasting Profile
Nose: Pale straw in colour with aromas of green apple, pear, quince, white flower petals and subtle wet-stone minerality.
Palate: Crisp and energetic—juicy orchard fruits (pear, apple), lemon zest, delicate almond skin hint, and a fine thread of chalky mineral that gives poise and sip-through.
Finish: Very dry and clean (Brut Nature), finishing on a tight mineral echo and light citrus peel bitterness—refreshing and lively, inviting the next sip.
