La Gioiosa Bio Organic Prosecco DOC NV (Italy)

Description

Apple, Floral, Off-dry

Very pale straw yellow and fine, persistnet perlage. The aroma is fruity and flowery with hints of ripe golden apple and small mountain flowers. The dry, soft and flavoursome sensation on the palate is followed by a fruity and harmonious aftertaste.

The grapes for this Organic Prosecco are sourced from vineyards within the Prosecco DOC area, cultivated in medium to alluvial soils, conducted under organic viticulture. The biological value becomes even more a profound meaning of the quality linked to the peculiar characteristics of the Terroir, a link always protected and valued by the company.

The whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled temperature tanack where it remains until it is uded for the production of the sparkling wine. Added with yeast culterues selected by La Gioiosa, the must is then put into vessels where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16ºC to enhance all the harvest fragrances. Upon reaching the required alcohol content fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a short settling period the sparkling wine is ready for bottling. The refermentation is carried out in such a way as to preserve all the aromatic heritage and develop floral and fruity aromas typical of the variety and the territory.

Food Pairing: An excellent aperitif, perfect with shellfish or with fried fish.
