The Estate: Cantine Bedin was established in the early 20th century by the Bedin family. The winery has been passed down through generations, maintaining its family-run heritage. They are situated in the heart of the Prosecco DOC region, specifically in the hills of Asolo, which is known for its ideal conditions for producing high-quality Prosecco. The winery emphasizes sustainable and environmentally-friendly viticulture practices. They focus on minimal intervention in the vineyard and the cellar to let the natural characteristics of the grapes shine through in the wine. While they uphold traditional winemaking techniques, they also incorporates modern technology to enhance the quality and consistency of their wines. The winery provides a charming setting with beautiful views, making it a delightful spot for both casual wine enthusiasts and serious connoisseurs.
The grapes are destemmed and soft pressed, suspended solids are separated from grape juice using flotation. The juice is then racked into stainless steel tanks where it undergoes alcoholic fermentation at low-temperature to enhance the natural aromas of the grapes. After about 10 days the wine has achieved a sufficient, yet low alcohol content and the primary fermentation is complete. They stock the wine in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks until the secondary fermentation: the phase during which the still, base wine is transformed into a sparkling wine. According to the Martinotti-Charmat method, they introduce the still wine into pressurised stainless-steel tanks along with selected yeasts and sugar which stimulate the production of natural bubbles of carbon dioxide that are trapped in the tank and dissolve into the wine.
Suggested food and wine pairing: A very easy-to-drink and versatile Spumante, ideal for enjoying as an aperitif. It is a favourite welcome glass before any meal and the perfect choice as a sparkler to mix in wine-based cocktails such as the popular Aperol Spritz or Hugo (prosecco, elderflower syrup (or lemon balm syrup), seltzer (or sparkling water) and mint leaves).
