Piccini Venetian Dress Prosecco Extra Dry NV

Since 1882, the Piccini family has been pursuing a dream, which, over time has become a solid business project: Tell the story of Italian wine through the oenological exellencies of its territory. Piccini1882 includes five niche farms of Italy, all organically run, and its brand is classified as one of the most distinguished Tuscan brand in the world. Today Mario Piccini leads the company, supported by his sisters Martina and Elisa, together with his children Ginevra, Benedetta and Michelangelo who are personally involved in the business activities.

A selection of the best hilly and low yielding sites combined to improved Winemaking techniques underpin this limited edition. The Charmat method here is defined by a slow second fermentation and a prolonged, 3 months rather than the regular 20 days, aging period in pressurized tank. This results in an extremely intense bouquet supported by a fine perlage, a balanced cuvée, as Elegant as a Venetian Dress.

Made exclusively from glera grapes from the Veneto region. Glera is a late ripening, disease-prone grape variety, for these reasons we do select hilly, hence more ventilated and less humid, areas that allow the grapes to reach full ripeness while avoiding plant diseases, likely to compromise the primary aromas of the grapes. The Charmat method also helps in retaining primary fruit character making this wine a straightforward expression of terroir. A wealth of delicate aromas, unfolding into white fruit and flowers notes for an enhanced tasting experience. FOOD PAIRING = Prosecco is a fantastic food wine.
