Relio Rive di Guia Extra Brut, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG
Named after a man who dedicated his entire life to this area: Aurelio Bisol, who was known affectionately as “Relio”. In his honor, the winery has specially selected grapes from the single vineyard “Rive di Guia” on the steepest slopes, where cultivation, and harvesting has to be carried out by hand, demanding all of the tenacity and passion of what is known in Italy as “heroic viticulture.”
Within the DOCG designation, the term “Rive” signifies the steepest and most favorably exposed hillsides, which are recognized for their exceptional quality. These hillsides are situated at an elevation of approximately 350 meters above sea level. One notable example of such a location is a single vineyard in the “Guia” area, renowned for its superior grape production.

"The 2023 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Relio entices as a whiff of crushed stone gives way to hints of gingery spices and freshly sliced yellow apples. It opens with a pleasant inner sweetness and silken waves of ripe orchard fruits, as pretty inner florals define the close. Notes of candied citrus linger as this tapers off juicy yet long, leaving echoes of mint to linger on."
