Description

Let me introduce you to the Bernardi Pra' dei Salt Extra Dry, a jewel from the heart of Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, specifically from the Rive di Collalto. This isn't just another Prosecco; it's an experience, crafted by a winery deeply rooted in the traditions of the Veneto region, Bernardi. Bernardi is a Winery whose History began in 1924 and now, with a focus on sustainable and ethical production methods, Bernardi creates wines that express the unique terroir of the Valdobbiadene hills.

The Pra' dei Salt is made from 100% Glera grapes, hand-picked from the steep slopes of Collalto. These 'Rive' vineyards are known for their unique microclimates and complex soil compositions, resulting in wines with exceptional character and concentration. The 'Extra Dry' designation indicates a subtle sweetness, making it incredibly versatile and appealing to a wide range of palates.

On the nose, expect an explosion of fresh aromas. Think ripe pear and crisp apple, intertwined with delicate floral notes of acacia and honeysuckle. As you take your first sip, the fine bubbles dance on your tongue, delivering a creamy texture and a refreshing acidity. The slight sweetness is beautifully balanced, creating a harmonious and elegant wine. The Bernardi Pra' dei Salt is your go-to choice for aperitivo. Its refreshing acidity and subtle sweetness make it a perfect match for light appetizers like Prosciutto, olives, and grilled vegetables. It pairs beautifully with seafood dishes such as Spaghetti alle Vongole, or fresh seafood salad. The wine’s fruity notes complement the richness of these dishes, while the acidity cuts through any lingering oiliness. Its delicate sweetness also makes it an excellent companion to spicy Asian cuisine. Consider pairing it with sushi, spring rolls, or a mild Thai curry. The wine’s effervescence and subtle fruitiness will balance the spiciness and enhance the flavors of the dish.

Serve it chilled, between 6-8°C, to fully appreciate its aromas and flavors. No need to let it rest, it's ready to be enjoyed the moment you pop the cork. This Prosecco is a testament to the Bernardi family's dedication to quality and tradition. With the Pra' dei Salt, you're not just buying a bottle of wine; you're investing in a piece of Italian heritage, and you are supporting sustainable wine production. You'll be supporting a winery that values its land and its people, ensuring that future generations can continue to enjoy the fruits of this exceptional region.
