Villa Sandi Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Extra Brut, "Il Nero"

Villa Sandi, 3rd generation family producer, have crafted a very special dry style 'Asolo DOCG' Prosecco with Il Nero. Asolo is renowned for being the growing area best suited to producing food friendly broad flavoured Prosecco and this example is exactly that. Very pale straw yellow and fine, persistent perlage. Intensely fruity aroma with clear hints of granny smith. Pleasant and elegant flowery sensation reminiscent of acacia flowers. Fresh, slightly sweetish and soft to the palate, flavoursome on the back of the tongue; an agreeably fruity and harmonious finish.

Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks where it remains until it is used for the production of the sparkling wine. The must with added yeast cultures selected by Villa Sandi is then put into vessels where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C to enhance all the harvest fragrances. Upon reaching the required alcohol and sugar content fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a short settling period the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.

Not aged

Excellent as an aperitif. It goes well with fish marinated with delicate aromatic herbs and herb-based first courses
