Why shop with us?
Andreola’s Valdobbiadene Prosecco Rive di Refrontolo Col del Forno Brut is a distinctive expression from one of the most prized crus in the Valdobbiadene DOCG. Sourced exclusively from the steep 4-hectare hillside vineyards of Refrontolo, it stands out for its fuller body, fine balance and the character that comes from a unique clay-rich terroir.
Tasting Notes
In the glass, this Brut typically shows a bright straw-yellow color with a lively, persistent mousse. The bouquet is fresh and expressive, with notes of orchard fruit, white flowers and delicate citrus, supported by a subtle mineral edge.
On the palate, it is crisp yet more structured than a standard Prosecco, with ripe fruit, refreshing acidity and a pleasing roundness that reflects the clay soils and hillside exposure. The finish is clean and energetic, with enough texture to give it excellent versatility at the table. Enjoy young for its freshness and aromatic lift, though it will hold its charm well over the near term.
Production
Col del Forno comes from le Rive di Refrontolo, an area at the far eastern edge of the Valdobbiadene denomination, where the vineyards sit on mild slopes at around 240 meters above sea level. The soils are predominantly clay and the site benefits from a notable temperature range and an excellent microclimate, helping the grapes reach full aromatic ripeness while preserving freshness. The wines are produced exclusively from estate grapes grown in this specific cru, highlighting the precision and identity of the site.
Food & Serving
This is an excellent aperitif wine, but it also pairs beautifully with light starters, seafood, shellfish, delicate risottos and fresh cheeses. Serve well chilled, ideally at 6–8°C, to keep its freshness and mousse at their best. Decanting is not recommended; simply open and enjoy young to appreciate its vibrant character.

Andreola is a respected producer in the heart of the Valdobbiadene area, known for crafting wines that express the individuality of the region’s best hillside vineyards.
