n.1
Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG Brut
Made entirely from Glera variety, hand picked and selected in the second half of September. It’s characterized by a bright greenish colour, with a minute and persistent bead. Its aroma is quite intense and fruity; the golden apple stands out in a flowery background. To the palate it’s dry, fresh and lean, supple and well balanced, with a good persistence of aromas and a pleasantly fruity finish.
It is a classic aperitif wine, best served with fish, shellfish and molluscs entrées.

The opinion of experts
Among our wines, N° 1 is my favourite, for its strong and elegant character, which however feels delicate to the palate, thus becoming appropriate in all situations, from aperitifs to dinners.
A Prosecco brut with a very fine and pleasant bead. It has a scent of herbs, fresh sage and nettle, with a pleasant peach and apple component and citrus fruit notes, especially lemon and citron zest A prosecco for connoisseurs.
