Varietal Composition: Glera - A grape varietal going back to the ancient
Romans. Glera is planted in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia and was one
of the most well known and appreciated grape varietals at the time of the
Romans; Livia Drusilla, Augusto’s wife, was one of its greatest fans.
Area of Production/Origin: Hills around Treviso area.
Harvest: Second half of September.
Tasting Notes: Pale yellow colour, delicate and complex bouquet with fruity
notes that are reminiscent of peach and green apple with an undertone of
lemon. Floral notes of acacia and rose fl owers combined with a light, spicy
Mediterranean bouquet. Fresh and soft on the palate with well balanced
acidity.
Vinifi cation: Grapes are carefully selected from the area of origin. The softly
pressed must is stored in steel tanks for static cold decanting. Fermentation is
made with selected yeasts at a controlled constant temperature of 18°C and
is completed in 8 - 10 days. After settling, the winemaker carefully blends to
achieve the Prosecco Spumante basic cuvée. Afterwards the wine is fi ltered
and stored in stainless steel tanks with the addition of sucrose and selected
yeasts to begin the second fermentation (Martinotti-Charmat method) at a
controlled temperature of 14 - 15 °C. Once the wine has reached the required
pressure levels, alcohol and sugar content, the wine is refrigerated and cold
stabilized (-2/-3°C), fi ltered and then bottled.
Cellaring: Two years.
Alcohol/ Acidity/ Sugar: 11% Vol. 5,5-6 g/l. 16-17 g/l.
Culinary Suggestions: Ideal as an aperitif, it is the perfect accompaniment to
hors-d'oeuvres and delicate fi rst courses. Also wonderful with sushi, fi sh and
shellfi sh.
Serving Temperature: 8° - 10°C.
