A celebration in liquid form, bright, fresh, and effortlessly elegant. In the glass, the Collezione 96 shines a pale straw gold with a fine, persistent mousse. Aromas of orchard fruit and citrus zest dance from the surface, think golden apple, pink grapefruit, and freshly cut pear, all lifted by a gentle perfume of white blossom and wisteria. The palate is silky and lively, unfolding with crisp green apple, soft stone fruit and a whisper of minerality that keeps everything perfectly poised. Light, pure and quietly luxurious, it’s a sparkling wine that reminds you why simple moments deserve great bubbles.

For when: the mood is light and the laughter’s easy.
Pairs with: smoked salmon blinis, creamy burrata, or a long, lazy brunch.
If this wine were: a sound, it’d be the clink of glasses just before sunset, bright, graceful, and full of promise.

The Dal Bianco family’s Masottina estate, founded in 1946, is a cornerstone of Conegliano Valdobbiadene’s sparkling legacy. Now in its third generation, the family cultivates nearly 300 hectares across the UNESCO-listed hills of Veneto, combining heritage with sustainable innovation under the SQNPI certification. The “Collezione 96” was born from Masottina’s landmark 96-point score from Decanter in 2017, a benchmark that encapsulates their philosophy: precision, patience, and a touch of sparkle.
