Production
Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Spumante is made from Glera grapes cultivated in selected vineyards in the district of Valdobbiadene near the town of Conegliano in the region of Veneto. Produced using the Charmat method of sparkling wine production with secondary fermentation taking place in tank. (The Champagne/traditional method is not used for Prosecco because the long ageing period would rob the wine of its freshness).
Tasting notes
There are fine, light, fruity aromas of fresh green apples and pears plus a hint of yeastiness on the nose. The palate is creamy and softly sparkling with some richness and a long, gently aromatic finish.
Food match
The perfect aperitif or celebration wine. Also goes very well with Panettone.
