Riccardo – 6 bt Prosecco D.O.C. di Valdobbiadene – Still Wine

The grapes from which it is produced come from the Valdobbiadene’s hills. The grape harvest period is tardive, mid October circa. The wine making phases are done in white, that means without skins.

It is a dry wine obtained after careful grape selection, soft pressing followed by meticulous wine making at controlled temperatures.

Alcohol strength is 11% vol., with a sugar content of 10 gr/liter and total acidity of 6 gr/liter. It has a delicate straw colour, with unripe apple, pear and multi-flower honey aromas. Dry on the palate, harmonious and elegant, the structure is agreeable and persistent and the aftertaste remembers bitter almonds.

The ideal tasting temperature is of 12 °C. Suitable for aperitif, pairs well with light entrees, cold cuts and it is perfect with seafood. Despite its freshness it is advised to consume it within the production year.
