Winemaking Notes: This Prosecco was sourced from the province of Treviso with Glera grapes that are grown from the Conegliano hills to the foot of the Valdobbiadene hills. This area is known for its mild climate and alluvial clay soils which is ideal for allowing the Glera grapes to fully ripen by harvest time in mid-September. After harvest, the grapes are gently pressed and then ferment in stainless steel tanks with the addition of selected yeasts. The second fermentation occurs with controlled temperatures to preserve the fresh aromas of the grapes. Finally, the sparkling wine is cold stabilized, filtered and bottled.
