Prosecco DOC Spumante Brut Millesimato Biele Zoe Tenimenti Civa

Glera is the main variety with which Prosecco is produced, which in all probability comes from the same locality in the municipality of Trieste. The name Prosecco derives from the ancient Slavic “prosěkǔ” and has the meaning of “wooded area”. The history of Prosecco in Friuli is older than that of the Veneto. Prosecco arrived here towards the end of the eighteenth century and after about one hundred and fifty years it achieved fame and success. It happens, and not infrequently, that undervalued or abandoned vines at home find wide acceptance in a different place!

After harvesting, the grapes are crushed and subsequently softly pressed. The must decants at a temperature of 8°C for 24 hours, then follows the alcoholic fermentation in steel containers at a controlled temperature. At the end of this phase, the base wine is sent for refermentation in an autoclave, which is completed in about a week. the sparkling wine stays in the autoclaves for 1-2 months, enriching itself with substances and perfumes released by the lysis of the yeast. We then proceed to bottling in isobaric conditions to avoid the dispersion of carbon dioxide. Perfume: the characteristic scent of pear and green apple is felt and wisteria is more nuanced. Taste: it has a delicious and very fine foam well blended with the freshness of the fruit. The sip ends fresh and dry. Perfect as an aperitif!
