Colf\u00f2ndo or col fondo can trace its roots to the early years of Porsecco production. Here’s a note on the subject from winemaker Luca Ferraro, a colfondista and colf\u00f2ndo pioneer.<\/h2>\n

I have learned a lot of things from my winemaker friends. I always listen attentively to what they have to say, especially when it comes to older grape growers.<\/p>\n

The history of our land is passed down, unbroken, through their stories and their experiences.<\/p>\n

Did you know, for example, that our old folks used to call ColFondo el vin de butiglia<\/em> (wine in a bottle<\/em>)? They began to call it vin col fondo<\/em> only after the Martinotti method was introduced. That was when a need for two categories of Prosecco first emerged. [For first-time readers, ColFondo is ancestral method Prosecco; it means literally with sediment<\/em>.]<\/p>\n

But the thing I can\u2019t stop thinking about is the story about ColFondo that winemaker friend of mine told me.<\/p>\n

There once was a time, he said, when winemakers made \u201chard\u201d wines. They were tannic because even the white grapes were macerated with their skins for a few days.<\/p>\n

In order to make them more approachable, they would add a little bit of sugar before bottling.<\/p>\n

In the spring, when the temperatures would rise, fermentation would begin again and that was how vino col fondo<\/em> was made.<\/p>\n

The people who used to come buy the wine from the wineries began to fall in love with the bubbles and this was how el vin col fondo<\/em> arrived at its golden age.<\/p>\n
