Calneggia Asolo Prosecco DOCG

PLEASE NOTE: THIS WINE IS MADE IN VENETO, ITALY AND IMPORTED TO OUR WINERY IN MARGARET RIVER

WINEMAKER’S NOTE: Pale straw yellow-green with a fine persistent bead. The bouquet is lifted, aromatic with a delicate and nutty edge. The palate is fresh and lively with fine aromatic persistence. Delicate lemon citrus and pear flavours carry through with a fine sparkling finish.

VINTAGE: N.V.

VINEYARDS: Traditional viticulture and practice in the Prosecco region of northern Italy. Cool convective winds off the Alps moderate the warm temperatures on the Italian plain.

VINIFICATION: Hand-picked fruit was crushed, chilled and the juice separated, then clarified immediately. After primary fermentation the wine was re-fermented in a closed pressure vessel. The finished sparkling wine was then clarified and bottled under counter pressure to retain the entrained carbon dioxide – a vital component of the style.
