Distinctly elegant and well-balanced, Prosecco Spumante Brut Collio is pale straw yellow in the glass and crystal-clear thanks to the fine, persistent bead. The nose is fruity with pronounced notes of apple, peach and white-fleshed fruit, but floral too with hints of white blossoms like acacia and wisteria. On the palate it is dry, bold, well-balanced and harmonious, highlighting all the vinous notes of the grape variety used, with delicate notes of tropical fruit completing the wine’s bouquet. Versatile in terms of pairing, it goes well with hors d’oeuvres and appetizers, cheese and vegetables, but also with seafood starters, for example. Serve at a temperature of 8-10 ° C.

Manual harvest at optimum technological ripeness, crushing-destemming, pressing, cold settling and addition of cultured yeasts. Controlled cold fermentation at 14° C. Fermentation is followed by racking, light clarification to stabilise the proteins and subsequent filtration. Bottling is performed after second fermentation in steel pressure tanks (autoclaves), where the internal pressure increases for a month to around 5 atm until fermentation is complete. The wine is then clarified before final filtration.
