The Estate: Cantine Bedin was established in the early 20th century by the Bedin family. The winery has been passed down through generations, maintaining its family-run heritage. They are situated in the heart of the Prosecco DOC region, specifically in the hills of Asolo, which is known for its ideal conditions for producing high-quality Prosecco. The winery emphasizes sustainable and environmentally-friendly viticulture practices. They focus on minimal intervention in the vineyard and the cellar to let the natural characteristics of the grapes shine through in the wine. While they uphold traditional winemaking techniques, they also incorporates modern technology to enhance the quality and consistency of their wines. The winery provides a charming setting with beautiful views, making it a delightful spot for both casual wine enthusiasts and serious connoisseurs. 
The mashed grapes undergo cooling and cryo-maceration (low-temperature mentative maceration): a winemaking technique that allows the extraction of primary aromas from the grape skins, enhancing the varietal character of the wine. This first, key phase is followed by primary fermentation in stainless steel tanks with selected, cultured yeasts. Secondary fermentation happens through a long Martinotti-Charmat method: the still wine is filtered and then conveyed to pressurized stainless steel tanks (autoclaves) along with cultured yeasts and sugar. Here, carbonation occurs naturally as a result of the action of yeasts and sugar. The resulting sparkling wine is kept in the autoclave for 60 more days with screw-agitators regularly stirring sediments back into the wine to extract texture and complexity from the lees.
