Typicality: 10
Very light straw yellow, fine perlage, delicate. Very intense scent of apple, sage, celery.
In the mouth it is soft, with a pleasing contrast of sapidity/ minerality and sweet sweetness.

The editorial staff of Civiltà del Bere congratulated for the excellent result obtained.
The competition was fierce and our wine proved to be able to combine intrinsic quality and territorial identity.

And who is more artisan than Graziano Merotto (if Allegrini is the Lady of Amarone he is, it seems doubtful, the equivalent for Prosecco), who in Verona reveals his “B.Giussin”.

REVIEW OF FONDATORE 50°

Half a century of Earth Religion: it is a celebration of the 50 years of work of the extraordinary Graziano la Cuvée del Fondatore Graziano Merotto, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut Millesimato 2020

It comes from the steep banks of Col San Martino, the UNESCO hills, the Cuvée del Fondatore Graziano Merotto, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut Millesimato 2020.

Graziano Merotto has taken my heart.
What beautiful days, how many emotions. Yes, I visited enchanted places, ate and drank great.
Above all, however, I met people in love with life they chose, because making wine like the Merotto, means being one with the vineyard and the territory.
The stories of the producers have always fascinated me, understanding how much dedication they put into what they do is a great teaching. We get to repay our efforts, enjoying the final result, but it is what comes first to make their products special.

Prosecco Superiore has been called the “welcoming wine”, but this is even more true for Graziano Merotto, a hospitable person, of great productive seriousness, generous and authentic, proving that not all Prosecco is trivial.

For the 11th consecutive year we have received this very important Award: the three glasses Gambero Rosso with the most important Italian Wine Guide

Prosecco Superiore is the wine of hospitality, nothing better to create that sense of intimacy.

The Cuvèe marked by the seal in red wax symbolically represents the summa of the story of this man and the 50th anniversary of his life – Zaia said – devoted to this field, to reach the best from the steepest sloves around his company, in Col San Martino.

Celebrations with Zaia in his cellar: “I have eaten and slept with the wine of this land. It’s been my life.”

“The earth as a living entity, to which one owes love and gratitude. Its fruits are gifts that man must deserve with a daily tribute of toil, attention and respect”

“Graziano Merotto works with tenacity in his land. He has intuition, concreteness and love for his work. He wanted a house for wine. He has grown up, works hard, knows Prosecco. Graziano wants to remain modest, simple, open, sensitive. It suggests sobriety, a sovereign virtue to capture art and a smile from his glasses.”

The year 2021 marks the 50th year of his involvement in the world of Prosecco.

“I have eaten, drunk and slept with Prosecco”. Graziano Merotto begins by telling the first 50 years of his winery. He doesn’t: a few more “harvests” on his shoulders carry the door. The owner of the company in Farra di Soligo (Treviso) is, in fact, a class of ’46. But today it is his “creature” that celebrates, from the top of the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, UNESCO heritage, with the launch of the Cuvèe of the founder Graziano Merotto.

Prosecco Superiore, born in the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, is still “handmade” by some great performers: Graziano Merotto – the Mister 3 Glasses of Gambero Rosso – is one of them. For over than 50 years he has personally worked his vineyards, following a tradition rich in knowledge handed down from generation to generation.

It is superfluous to add a few more words on Mother’s Day, because if you look at what is synthesized among the proposals of wines, sweets, objects and solidarity, there is really everything.

In den Hügeln rund um Valdobbiadene wachsen die Trauben für den Prosecco DOCG, umschmeichelt von einer sanft hügeligen, harmonischen Landschaft.

Hipster Wine recommends to pair the wine “Cuveè del Fondatore Graziano Merotto Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG Brut 2019” with baked prawns with crispy breading. We invite you to read the entire article to discover the Tasting Notes!

This interesting article, where it also mentions the Merotto Space, starts like: “The Prosecco Superiore, from the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, is still “handmade”by some authentic interpreters, who every day trample the vineyard, take care of it and who have made wine their own reason for living, Graziano Merotto is one of them.”

Easter according to La Repubblica magazine should be celebrated with the Cuveè of the Founder Graziano Merotto Rive of Col San Martino 2019, discover the pairing proposed!
