The Vineyards of Susegana

Located in the rolling hills of Susegana, Le Contesse’s vineyards benefit from a favorable microclimate that supports balanced ripening and aromatic development. The combination of hillside exposures, mineral-rich soils, and natural ventilation allows the grapes to maintain freshness and structure. Vineyard work is carried out with careful attention to sustainability and long-term soil health, ensuring consistency across vintages.

Precision in the Cellar

Winemaking at Le Contesse is driven by precision and control, with the goal of preserving varietal purity and elegance. Modern technology supports gentle vinification processes, from pressing to fermentation, allowing the winery to enhance the natural qualities of the grapes without overshadowing them. The Charmat method is applied with particular care to retain freshness, fine bubbles, and clean aromatics.

A Style Defined by Balance

Le Contesse’s Prosecco wines are defined by balance, clarity, and approachability. Fresh fruit notes, vibrant acidity, and a refined perlage characterize the winery’s style across its range. These wines are crafted to be versatile—equally suited for aperitivo moments and food pairings—while consistently reflecting the identity of their origin.
