Querciole is a frizzante made from Spergola that makes almost everything that comes from Prosecco look old and rather bland. The intention may be similar, but what Ca' de Noci bottles year after year for secondary fermentation is usually miles ahead of its much more famous frizzante colleagues in the Veneto in terms of vitality, freshness, juiciness and precision.
There are more than a few reasons for this: For more than two decades, Ca' de Noci has favoured organic farming and a lot of manual labour, low yields and perfect grape material, spontaneous fermentation, careful cellar work and secondary fermentation in the bottle. In addition, Ca' de Noci uses Spergola, a little-known grape variety that is ultimately predestined for sparkling wine, with fine tannins, gripping acidity and subtle but persistent flavours.
Style
Animating, profound and straightforward. Grapefruit, yellow flowers, tonic and brioche flavours characterise the aroma. The perlage is creamy and crackling, the structure direct and vibrant, the body elegant and light-hearted. A frizzante for every day with character and flow.
