A lively sparkling wine with a persistent, but not invasive, effervescence. Bubbles are small and wonderfully disciplined.
Grape variety:
100% Glera
Fermentation:
At a controlled temperature of 20°C, second fermentation takes place at a low temperature in steel tanks.
Aging:
50% new and 50% in second year French oak barrels.
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of apple, fresh white fruit and notes of yeast escape from the glass without creating excessive complexity. A wine, fun and young in spirit, perfect for a formal business lunch or for an early poolside aperitif.
Recommended food pairings:
Prosecco is well know to be a partner of choice for your aperitivo. It balances salted or cured foods by lending its fruit and citrus tones to the mix. However, the Conti di San Bonifacio Prosecco can work a little harder accompanying plates of fish and sea food as well as rich dishes with butter, cream or nutty sauces.
Take your lead from the dishes prepared locally in Valdobbiadene with wild mushrooms, chestnuts, polenta, rabbit and goose. And for a more international perspective we are seeing it pair beautifully with Asian food where the wine elegantly cuts through the sweet and salted or lightly battered dishes.
