Prosecco Brut DOC
From 100% Prosecco (Glera) grapes grown at various altitudes in the hills and high plains near Treviso, where the microclimate is mild and dry.
Vinified using the Charmat method, this is an extremely appealing sparkler, presenting lively aromas and fruit. It has the ideal balance of acidity and sugar, making it pleasingly refreshing. Time spent on its lees give it great concentration and intense flavors. Dry and persistent on the palate, it is a marvelous aperitif as well as an all-around wine. It is especially good with fish, poultry, and mild cheese.
