Tittoni
Rive di Vidor Dry
Valdobbiadene Superiore Docg Rive
The celebration of Valdobbiadene DOCG
The Tittoni vineyard enjoys a splendid panorama and bears the name of an unforgettable figure for the Vidor municipality. To the memory of the benefactor Cav. Carlo Tittoni are in fact owed schools, streets and a hilly area where an ancient Casera, also a Tittoni, is the guardian of the vines.
The vineyard, with its calcareous soil, is in a hillside position that embraces the panorama wherever you turn your eyes. You can see the Piave river with the Ponte degli Alpini bridge, the Valdobbiadene DOCG hills, the Pre-Alps, the Dolomites and from a summit, on fine days you can glimpse the Venice lagoon. The aura of the Piave valley and ideal exposure give these grapes such aromaticity and sweetness that Tittoni Dry Rive di Vidor is a label that celebrates all the nuances of Valdobbiadene DOCG.
The Tittoni Dry Rive di Vidor has an elegant, refined taste and a persistent perlage with minute grain, hints of ripe yellow apple, yellow plum, bouquet of white flowers, even white rose, a slight balsamicity and spiciness due to the low presence of sulphites.
