Masottina Contradagranda Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Brut 0,75 ℓ

Prosecco Contradagranda Brut is a sparkling wine from Masottina, a historic winery in the Conegliano area that has been producing wines and sparkling wines since 1946. Vertical vinification is practiced in the cellar, whereby the force of gravity is exploited during each production process. The harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September. The vinification is vertical, i.e. it is carried out using gravity, without the use of pumps. The must ferments in steel vats at 15-18 °C. Subsequently the wine remains in a pressurized tank for about a month for the second fermentation and ageing on the lees at a temperature of 13-14 °C, before being bottled. In the glass the wine is pale straw yellow with greenish reflections and has a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals fresh aromas of white flowers and ripe white fruit in addition to delicate menthol notes. The sip is balanced, fresh and savoury, with a persistent finish. Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with appetizers, even raw, of fish and meat.
