Sparkling Wine
A light straw-yellow wine, it has an intense, typical, widely fruity and floral aroma, with a distinct smell of rennet apple and elderflower; it is harmonious, sapid with a slightly bitter aftertaste in the mouth.
This vine owes its name to the Prosecco village, on the Carso, near Trieste, where Glera grapes have been grown since Roman times. Later it spread throughout the province of Treviso, especially in the hilly and piedmont area, including the Venetian plain. It has spread quickly due to its peculiarities as it is suitable for sparkling wine.
