Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano Valdobbiadine “Millesimato” DOCG
Vinified using the Charmat method, this is an extremely appealing sparkler, featuring lively aromas and fruit. This vintage blend (hence “Millesimato”) is made from the grapes that enjoy the best exposure. This is the finest expression of those unique characteristics that put Prosecco, a sparkling wine, in a class of its own.
The youthful freshness, its relatively low alcohol content and easy, crisp style make it ideal for an evening with friends. Prosecco’s classic versatility also makes it a fine accompaniment for an entire meal, particularly fish first courses, caviar and prawns.
