Elegant, mineral and deeply expressive, the 2023 R.D.O. Ponente captures the rare finesse of Ogliano’s steep, sun-kissed slopes. Pale gold with a fine, persistent perlage, it opens with luminous aromas of acacia blossom, lime zest and wisteria, unfolding into layers of pear, Golden Delicious apple, and pink grapefruit. The palate is pure and poised with crisp citrus and green fruit woven with hints of wild herbs and sea-spray salinity. Its finish is long, refreshing, and quietly complex, the kind of sophistication that only great vineyard sites can deliver.

For when: the mood is bright and the moment calls for something effortlessly refined.
Pairs with: fresh oysters, sushi, or citrus-dressed salads.
If this wine were a landscape, it would be the morning mist rolling off Venetian hills, tranquil, luminous, and full of promise.

Masottina’s Rive di Ogliano vineyards represent the pinnacle of the family’s craft, steep, glacially formed slopes farmed by hand, where Glera finds extraordinary precision and depth. Since 1946, the Dal Bianco family has nurtured these UNESCO-listed hills with sustainable dedication under the SQNPI banner, crafting wines that blend heritage with quiet innovation. The R.D.O. Ponente is their statement of intent, an artisanal Prosecco of uncommon texture, minerality, and grace.
