In the Veneto region, the word Ombra may mean both shade or shadow and a glass of wine.The usage derives from the ancient custom of meeting to drink a glass of wine in the shade of the famous Campanile in Saint Mark's Square in Venice.Under the trademark Ombra and according to traditional methods, Vallis Mareni produces two sparkling wines - Extra Dry and Brut - of the Prosecco family originating from rigorously selected grapes from Treviso hills and pressed under low pressure: the wine thus obtained is then converted to sparkling wine in very modern cellars by the Charmat method.Innovation, besides traditional methods, is the guidelines of Vallis Mareni's production.
