Key Flavours
Serve
The perfect addition to a summer spirtz, this Brut Prosecco sports little residual sugar and provides a counterpoint to sweeter aperetifs and bitters in a classic spritz.
Process
Grapes harvested near Venice are pressed and the clear juice fermented to make a still wine. Sugar is then added and a secondary fermenation takes place under pressure forcing CO2 into the wine and naturally carbonating it.
People
Since 1881, across five generations of family winemakers, the quest for perfection in Prosecco continues.
Place
Named for the village of Prosecco, in Trieste, Italy, and made from Glera, Prosecco vines benefit from the Northern Italian climate which imparts characteristic crispness to the wines.
Winemaking
Prosecco grapes are harvested from vineyards near Venice and pressed gently to make a high quality and freshly acidic must. Cold settling for around 12 hours follows. The clear juice is then fermented to make a still wine. Sugar is then added and a secondary fermenation takes place in autoclaves under pressure to ensure that the bubbles are formed.
