ISABELLA COLLALTO WAS BORN IN FRANKFURT AM MAIN ON
26 APRIL 1960, AND IS THE ELDEST DAUGHTER OF PRINCE
MANFREDO DI COLLALTO AND PRINCESS TRINIDAD CASTILLO
DE JURA REAL
Isabella is in fact a tribute to the princess and
also to her family who, for more than 1,000 years,
have preserved the rich natural heritage and
beauty of the land overlooking the Prosecco hills.
Now, as then, the Collalto family presides over
and preserves these hills with the same love and
attention for their precious biodiversity. Isabella
is a wine that tells a story of excellence, care and
attention.
After spending a long time on the lees, the brut is
bottled at the end of August and left in the bottle to
rest for a further two months to allow the wine to
complete its maturation. The result is an elegant,
understated sparkling wine, creamy on the palate,
with fresh floral aromas and mineral sensations. It
is complex and delicate, incisive but never over the
top, pairing effortlessly with fish dishes but also
with traditional Veneto cuisine. In addition to the
Italian market, the wines are shipped to northern
European countries such as Denmark, the Czech
Republic, Slovakia and Lithuania, but also East, to
markets such as Bulgaria and Romania.
SUI NUI SPUMANTI
SUI NUI PRODUCES QUALITY WINES FROM HAND-SELECTED GRAPES USING CUTTING-
EDGE TECHNIQUES, WHILE RESPECTING THE ENVIRONMENT AND TRADITION
The Sui Nui winery is in Valdobbiadene, the heart
of the Prosecco Docg, where the steep vineyards are
suited to growing Glera using virtuous techniques.
This is a rare expression of heroic viticulture, and
it is where the Bressan family has perpetuated its
business for four generations with passion and dedication.
However, it was only six years ago that the
turning point came with the official birth of the Sui
Nui farm. The company brand is a local name that
means ‘new soils’, i.e. areas made available after an
ancient retreat of the Piave river.
Today, the company is run by the three brothers,
Marcello, Ezio and Davide, who draw on their experience
to pursue their ideals but never forget their
passion for their work and the spirit that drives
them to constantly improve and reinvent themselves.
Elegance and distinction characterise Sui
Nui’s approach to its wines, in particular the most
iconic expression of heroic vine-growing, namely
the Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Rive
