Il Prosecco:
a family history and an inherited passion
1838
Clara's family wrote the first pages of the history of Prosecco: today, she embraces this heritage and continues with the next chapter.
In the mid-19th century, Antonio Carpenè I (1838-1902), passionate chemist, enologist and Clara’s great grand-father, started studying the Prosecco grape variety envisaging the production of a sparkling wine. He school of enology in Italy, he experimented chemistry, also thanks to his collaboration with Pasteur.
1913
It was then Antonio Carpenè II (1913-2010), Clara’s father, who led these trials to an actual accomplishment, exploring the potential of a secondary
fermentation inside stainless steel industrial tanks (the so-called Carpenè
method, then renamed Martinotti method). The turning point was in the
50s when Antonio Carpenè II “invented” the modern Italian method
for the production of Prosecco sparklers with secondary tank fermentation, still used to the present day.
From the heart of the UNESCO World Heritage finest sparklers terroir... Valdobbiadene
