Prosecco
This wine is generally light-bodied, crisp, and approachable, emphasizing freshness and lively acidity. It shows a delicate, rounded texture with clean fruit flavors and subtle complexity, reflecting the easy-drinking and celebratory style typical of Prosecco.
Winemaking process
Early harvest to obtain a sparkling-wine base with good acidity and moderate alcohol (~10.5% abv). Soft pressing and refrigeration, then settling and racking of the clarified must. Fermentation at controlled temperature (~17°C) with selected yeasts to enhance fragrances and aromas. Second fermentation in tank during the year to produce the sparkling wine. Soil: Eocene-origin, clay-rich; micro-elements (e.g., boron, magnesium) and local microclimate support aromatic, fragrant grapes. Contains sulfites.
Tasting notes
