The Prosecco Brut is clear and light, with compact bubbles. Wide and fruity, reminds us of yellow apple, peach, wisteria and acacia flowers. It has balance and elegance together with aromatic notes of great freshness.
At the palate its is fresh and at the same time soft, with creamy and crunchy bubbles with small aromatic notes at its ending. Well bodied with good roundness and permanence, it has a perfect correspondence with its aromas and great armony.

Refinement and maturation in contact with fine lees for five months in steel containers with weekly stirring to bring the single cellular yeast components into suspension.
Second fermentation: Martinotti or Charmat method in steel sealed tanks.

Reccomendations on pairing and service
Pair with: excellent for aperitif but also as a “whole meal” spumante with fish, crustaceans and sea fruits. It is great paired with all light and delicate first courses.
Serve: chill to 7-8°C just before serving.
Recommended glass: a medium wine goblet. Champagne flutes are best avoided as they may display perfectly the perlage, but they prevent the bouquet from developing to its full potential.
Storage: in a cool and dark place. Do not keep in the refrigerator for long periods.
Drinking period: within a year of its isobaric bottling. Hoeever, in following years, if stored correctly, the intensity of the fruity flavours and bouquet will make a way for greater complexity on the nose and palate, which can reserve a few pleasant surprises.
