Prosecco Frizzante NV
Producer
Finding a Prosecco producer with a Liberty profile - control of grapes, a quality ethos, one of the best producers in the zone and a wine that offers value for money - proved almost impossible. We eventually came to the conclusion that the only solution was to make our own, with the goal of producing a real Prosecco - clean, fresh, soft, frothing, uncomplicated, gulpable and above all, affordable.
We’ve been making these wines together with Conegliano-born Andrea Morlin since 1994. Matt Thomson works with Andrea and a grower friend in a modern, compact winery tucked into the hills of this beautiful region.
Vineyards
12 hectares in Conegliano, a sizeable quantity in this fragmented zone.
Vinification
The fruit was picked relatively late and cool-fermented in order to preserve the delicate aromatics of the grape. Both the first and second fermentation take place in temperature-controlled stainless steel tanks. Following the second fermentation, the wine is bottled under pressure so that it remains `frizzante`, or lightly sparkling. Due to the quality of the fruit, the wine has a lower level of residual sugar than is usual with Prosecco, so it is drier and more drinkable as a result. Perfect as an aperitif, it is best served at a temperature of 6-8°C
Tasting Notes
This wine is sealed under stelvin to protect against random oxidation and cork taint. It is fresh, soft, scented and grapey, with delicious lightness and good length.
