Prosecco
Stelle d'Italia
Key Flavours
Serve
Perfect as an aperitif, this can also hold its own against creamy pasta dishes or barbecued white meats.
Process
Grapes are harvested and pressed to produce a must which is cold-settled and then fermented to produce a still wine. After this, sugar is added to initiate the secondary fermentation to produce the bubbles, which takes place in pressurised tanks.
People
Doyen of Italian wine, Sergio de Luca, has a passion to source tasty Prosecco at a reasonable price.
Place
Grapes from across Veneto's Prosecco region are grown on hillsides, with sloped vineyards ensuring they benefit from exposure to sunlight. Harvests take place slightly early, in order to preserve the acidity and delicate fruit flavours of the grapes.
Winemaking
Glera grapes are harvested and pressed gently, to produce a high quality and freshly acidic must which is then cold-settled for 12 hours. Following this, the must is fermented to produce a still wine, after which sugar is added. Secondary fermentation takes place in autoclaves under pressure, to ensure that bubbles are formed.
