Villa Sandi Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Brut
Asolo Prosecco, Prosecco
Tasting Notes
Straw yellow and fine, velvety perlage. Intensely fruity aroma with clear hints of ripe golden apple and pear with a final sensation reminiscent of jasmine flowers. Fresh, the taste is sapid with a soft note well balanced by a savory finish with a very harmonious persistence overall.
Food Pairings
Excellent as an aperitif. It goes well with finger food, seafood salads, semi-seasoned cow cheeses.
Recommended serving temperature: 6-8°C
Winemaking Notes
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.
