Pale straw yellow-green with a fine persistent bead. The bouquet is lifted, aromatic with a delicate and nutty edge. The palate is fresh and lively with fine aromatic persistence. Delicate lemon citrus and pear flavours carry through with a fine sparkling finish.
Tasting Notes:
VINTAGE: NV
VINEYARDS: Traditional viticulture and practice in the Prosecco region of northern Italy. Cool convective winds off the Alps moderate the warm temperatures on the Italian plain.
VINIFICATION: Hand-picked fruit was crushed, chilled and the juice separated, then clarified immediately. After primary fermentation the wine was re-fermented in a closed pressure vessel. The finished sparkling wine was then clarified and bottled under counter pressure to retain the entrained carbon dioxide – a vital component of the style.
VARIETALS: 87% Glera (a distinct Prosecco variety) and 13% of a Chardonnay and Pinot Grigio blend.
ALCOHOL: 11.2%
TOTAL ACIDITY: 5.7 g/l
