Intriguing, sophisticated and wrapped in an aura of mysterious charm: Springo Black Conegliano Prosecco Superiore Rive di Rua Docg is born, the new Brut from the Le Manzane winery. Ernesto Balbinot, together with his wife Silvana Ceschin and his son and daughter Marco and Anna, will preview this new product at Vinitaly, from 6 to 9 April. The prestigious Springo line from the San Pietro di Feletto estate is thus enriched with another sparkling wine, the fifth in the premium collection and the third in the Rive typology. The 11,930 bottles, carefully numbered, will be available upon reservation. Springo Black will be on sale starting in April.
The story of Springo Black, the new Brut from the Le Manzane winery
The packaging of the new Springo Black is elegant. As it has done for all the other sparkling wines in the line, this time too the Balbinot family has decided to dress the bottle in a refined dress: the tones and different shades of black of the tissue paper give it class, style and even a touch of mystery.
Springo Black encloses in the glass a family story that has never been revealed until now. The new Brut from the Le Manzane winery is a tribute to the family history of Silvana Ceschin, Ernesto Balbinot’s wife, and celebrates the deep roots with the community and the local winemaking tradition. The Springo Black grapes come, in fact, from an impervious terrain that once belonged to Antonio Gio Maria Ceschin, Silvana’s great-grandfather.
“Antonio Gio Maria was the founder of our family”, says Silvana Ceschin. “With his charisma he was known by everyone as the ‘mayor’ of the town. When I pass by those parts I still remember the stories that my grandfather Taddeo told me about his great-grandfather Antonio Gio Maria and how that land had nourished entire generations. As time passed, and after the death of his great-grandfather, the property passed first to his brothers, then to his grandchildren and, finally, to his great-grandchildren, risking fragmenting the family estate”.
“Many years later – continues Silvana – my brother and I decided not to disperse this heritage and to carry on this legacy made of hard work and love for the land, taking over the shares of the family vineyard from relatives with the aim of keeping the link with the past alive”.
Today, in this “Riva” we find the authentic soul of that tradition: a wine with a refined character. Compared to other versions, this Brut reference has a more intense structure, a more pronounced minerality and a more decisive aromatic profile, in addition to a depth of taste and a crunchiness that represent two important characteristics of the wine.
The latest creation from Le Manzane presents itself with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose the scents are fresh and mineral, of white flowers and light notes of bread-making obtained from the long stay on the yeasts. In the mouth the flavor is full, intense and mineral with notes of sage, in addition to savory and vertical sensations also due to the low residual sugar. Springo Black pairs well with shellfish, fish-based first courses and seafood cuisine in general. Excellent to sip in company for those looking for an elegant aperitif.
