Il Lieve Vino Frizzante I.G.T. col Fondo
Il Lieve is a beautiful example of sparkling wine as it was done a hundred years ago: “on its lees” with a traditional secondary fermentation in the bottle and no disgorging. Also known as “col fondo”, the resulting wine is cloudy with a yeasty sediment settling on the bottom of the bottle that adds complexity and gives it a decidedly unique personality.

Very cloudy straw in color, due to the yeast deposit on the bottom of the bottle, with delicate bubbles. The process of lees ageing adds notes of baked bread that blend with fruity scents in a very elegant, complex bouquet. In the mouth it is full-flavoured and bone-dry, very refreshing and cleansing.
Food pairing
Born as a natural companion to traditional dishes of the local, Venetian cuisine, this wine has a unique, rich texture that make it extraordinarily food-friendly. Try it with anything from risotto, to gourmet burgers, from shellfish to charcuterie and Asian cuisine.
