A prestigious international recognition for Il Colle 1978: our Rive di Rua di Feletto Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut 2024 has been awarded a Platinum Medal and 97 points at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2026.
The result places Rive di Rua di Feletto among the outstanding wines of the 2026 edition of one of the world's most respected international wine competitions. Only 1.18% of all wines tasted achieved Platinum status this year, with 196 Platinum medals awarded to wines from 24 countries. To reach this level, Gold medal-winning wines undergo a further rigorous round of judging by DWWA senior experts.
This recognition is particularly meaningful to us because it celebrates a wine that is deeply connected to its place of origin.
The term “Rive” identifies 43 individual micro-terroirs within the Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG appellation. These areas are characterised by particularly steep hillsides, where grapes must be harvested exclusively by hand and must come from the single municipality or hamlet named on the label. Each Rive therefore expresses the distinctive microclimate, exposure and soil of its place of origin.
Our Rive is produced in Rua di Feletto from 100% Glera grapes. Its sun-drenched vineyards contribute floral notes and complexity to the wine. It is produced using our Metodo Il Colle®, an exclusive sparkling-wine production method that takes the wine from must to sparkling wine in a single process and allows us to obtain a wine with a low sulphite content.
In awarding the wine 97 points, the Decanter World Wine Awards judges highlighted its particularly expressive character, with apple blossom, pear and peach aromas complemented by distinctive mineral undertones.
On the palate, notes of lemongrass, thyme and lime meet a persistent perlage and vibrant, chalky acidity. Decanter concludes its assessment with two words that perfectly capture the wine's character: “long and precise.”
Rive di Rua di Feletto was also selected by Decanter among its 10 award-winning Proseccos from DWWA 2026 to discover, further underlining the significance of this achievement.
A Platinum Medal that speaks of our territory, our pursuit of quality and the work we dedicate to our Rive, vintage after vintage.
