Floralba
Spumante Extra Dry
Prosecco DOC
The Glera grapes, which are indigenous to the Veneto region of North East Italy, are grown on gentle hillside slopes. Training is the Cordon system and the vines are planted using the high density method, with four to five thousand vines per hectare.
100% Glera
The decision on when to pick the grapes is critical – the grapes must be fully mature, but still retain the vital high acidity needed to make Prosecco. The harvest takes place in the second half of September.
After picking the grapes are de-stemmed and very gently pressed in a pneumatic press, followed by chilling and a natural sedimentation to separate the wine from the solids. Selected yeasts are added to initiate the primary fermentation.
Floralba Prosecco Spumante has fine bubbles, with a classic fresh, aromatic nose. The wine is very soft on the palate, offering refreshing acidity with lots fruit flavours such as apple and apricot, with some citrus notes.
Serve chilled as an aperitif, or perfect with vegetable or fish based oriental dishes
