A white grape variety of uncertain origin: if we are to give credit to Villafranchi, the grape came from the Trieste area, likely taking its name from the village of Prosecco, where it was known as Glera and from where it later spread to the Treviso region. It is said that Empress Livia Augusta had it shipped in terracotta amphorae from the port of Aquileia and that, thanks to her consumption of it, she lived to the venerable age of 82, describing it as “the wine most suitable for medicinal use.”

Notes of green apple, ripe pear, citrus fruits, and floral hints.

Tasting notes

On the nose, Prosecco Brut offers intense notes of green apple, ripe pear, citrus fruits such as lemon and grapefruit, and floral hints of jasmine and acacia, with a mineral and slightly bready background. On the palate, a lively acidity dominates, balanced by a delicate fruity sweetness, with flavors of crisp white fruit, orange zest, and a dry, savory finish. The creamy bubbles envelop the palate, leaving a clean and refreshing sensation.

Pairings

Its fresh softness makes it an extremely pleasant wine: it has become the quintessential “aperitif” worldwide and pairs well with a wide variety of appetizers and finger foods, but it is also enjoyable throughout the entire meal. It pairs with starters (fish tartare, eggs and savory pies, San Daniele ham), first courses (white fish pasta, pasta with vegetable sauce, wild herb soups), and especially main courses based on fish (steamed shellfish, raw fish, seafood, creamed cod), as well as fresh cheeses from local mountain dairies. Ideal with dry desserts.
