Furthermore, the grapes must all come from the same municipality or hamlet that gives the name to the RIVE. The wine always has the vintage and can be sold not earlier than March 1st of the year following the harvest.
RIVE wines shows the different expressions of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, since each has its own particular microclimates, exposures and characteristics of the terroir.
RIVE DI COLLALBRIGO-COSTA
In this area can be found most of the Il Colle vineyards. It is a little hidden, less known than the others in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. For this reason it is fascinating, with surprising views around every corner. The climate there is windy: it enriches and intensifies the aromatic spectrum of the grapes.The soil is rich in clay, which gives structure and complexity to the wine.
