in body and well-balanced. This wine
is perfect alone as an aperitif or as a
delightful complement to appetizers such
as prosciutto or mild cheeses. Excellent
as a base for Bellinis and other sparkling
wine cocktails.

About Prosecco: The Prosecco grape
originated during Roman times and
is one of the oldest grapes in Italian
history. Its origin and name can be
traced back to the town of Prosecco in
Trieste. Prosecco grapes are transformed
into sparkling wine using the Charmat
method in which stainless steel tanks and
yeast are utilized to produce a natural
second fermentation. The process takes
approximately 60 days depending on
acidity, residual sugar and pressure.
The Charmat method allows Prosecco
to preserve its original flavors and
perfumes longer. Prosecco is traditionally
a dry wine with hints of apple and citrus.
Prosecco received its first level of
national recognition in 1969 when it
was awarded a D.o.c, Denominazione
di Origine Controllata. The D.o.c status
protected a small area of production and
ensured Prosecco a level of prestige in
the Italian wine community. Prosecco’s
popularity has increased rapidly over the
last ten years, particularly in Europe and
the United States.
