Il Follo
Il Follo operates in Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco, the northeastern Italian region where Glera grapes thrive on steep, terraced hillsides. The winery's core releases center on Prosecco Superiore, the appellation's highest classification. Villa Luigia Millesimato Valdobbiadene Brut, rated 90 by Decanter and Wine Enthusiast, anchors the portfolio with dry precision. The Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze—sourced from the region's most prized subzone—scores 88, while Villa Luigia Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Millesimato Extra Dry, at 87.2, offers the slightly sweeter profile that defines the Extra Dry category. All three wines are built from Glera, the sole permitted grape in this designation. The terroir of Valdobbiadene imparts mineral tension and floral aromatics characteristic of the zone's limestone and clay soils. Il Follo's focus on Prosecco Superiore reflects the region's shift toward complexity and food-friendliness over volume.
