Ca’Varani Prosecco DOC Brut
The Treviso and Valdobbiadene country side area is the most desirable place to grow Glera grapes and is full of hidden small winery. We collaborate with families who have our same principles as the respect of the traditions in the production process and the sustainability. The small and selected quantity we produce reflected the quality of our Prosecco.
Ca'Varani DOC
Ca’Varani is a wine that captivates from the very first moment. Its aromas of acacia flowers transport you to a dreamlike garden, while the fresh notes of apple, lemon, and cedar awaken your senses and invite you to explore its complexity.
Each sip of Ca’Varani is a unique experience. Its balanced and refined flavor, with subtle notes of acidity, enhances the flavors of your appetizers and integrates perfectly with a wide variety of dishes. From exquisite white meats to juicy fish, this wine will become the ideal companion for your first and second courses, elevating their taste and adding a touch of distinction to every bite.
Ca'Varani Prosecco DOC Brut
Made with hand-harvested grapes in the most artisanal way, selecting and cutting the clusters at their peak ripeness so you can appreciate a wine crafted with experience and passion.
We use 100% Glera grapes in the production of our Ca’Varani Prosecco DOC.
The Glera grape is among the 15 most important varieties in Italy, out of more than 2,000 varieties found in the country. It is believed to have been cultivated since Roman times, and the vinum pucinum mentioned by Pliny the Elder was made from it.
The Glera grape is a highly productive and late-ripening variety. It has high acidity and a fairly neutral palate, making it ideal for the production of sparkling wine, although it is sometimes used to make still wines. The aromatic profile of Glera is characterized by white peaches, with a soapy note on certain occasions. The wine is light-bodied and low in alcohol, making it a refreshing drink for appetizers and seafood dishes.

Martinotti or Charmat Method
In 1895, Federico Martinotti devised a production method characterized by lower costs and much shorter production times. This method consists of the mass fermentation of the base wine in pressure-controlled stainless steel containers (autoclaves) at a controlled temperature. The method was improved and patented by the Frenchman Eugéne Charmat about fifteen years later, and is now universally known as the “Martinotti-Charmat Method.”
Re-fermentation in autoclave is particularly well-suited for producing fresh and fragrant sparkling wines, especially from aromatic vines, as it allows for a more effective extraction of aromas and flavors in a much shorter time than the classic method. Furthermore, the specific olfactory notes resulting from the long presence of yeasts, typical of the classic method, would contrast with the primary aromas of the aromatic vines, creating an olfactory profile that is not entirely harmonious. Sweet sparkling wines, often made from aromatic vines, find this method to be the most appropriate for their production. The speed of the process and its cost-effectiveness also enable the production of quality sparkling wines at a significantly lower cost.
According to sugar content, sparkling wines are classified as follows:
- Brut Nature, Pas Dosage, or Dosaggio Zero: <3g/l of sugar (no added)
- Extra Brut (very dry): <6g/l
- Brut (dry): <12g/l
- Extra Dry (dry, rounded with a slight soft note): 12-17g/l
- Dry (medium sweet, slightly or mildly sweet): 18-32g/l
- Demi-Sec (sweet, with a clearly perceptible sweet note): 33-50g/l
- Sweet or Doux (strong sweetness): >50g/l
Our Prosecco is protected as DOC (Denominazione di Origine Controllata), one of the highest levels of quality for Italian wine, alongside the DOCG designation.
The Glera grape is grown in many regions of Italy, but to produce Prosecco that can have the DOC designation, the grapes must come from the regions of Friuli-Venezia Giulia and Veneto in Italy.
