Costa di Là is situated on the hills of Treviso, in the historic area of the “Prosecco di Conegliano and Valdobbiadene DOCG”. Costadilà produces and grows according to the agricultural techniques of the organic methods and works in the cellar in the traditional way, just using wild yeasts. The fields’ range allows the producer to group his wines in 3 different above-seal-levels, giving to each of his wine different and unique features. This wine is rediscovered old gold; almost orange looking.
Like their forefathers used to, it is produced with white as well as red grapes. Maceration, pumping over, bottling without filtering, it ferments in the bottle with its own wild yeasts.
