Crafted with passion and expertise by the renowned Santi winery, this Prosecco is a testament to the superior quality and exceptional taste that defines the DOCG appellation.
The wine is produced primarily from the Glera grape, which is characteristic of Prosecco production. Its style is Extra Dry, which, counterintuitively, implies a slightly sweeter profile than Brut, offering a delightful balance of crispness and subtle sweetness that makes it incredibly versatile.
From the moment you pour a glass, you'll be captivated by its delicate straw-yellow hue and the persistent, fine perlage that dances invitingly towards the surface. The nose is an enchanting bouquet of floral aromas, reminiscent of acacia blossoms and honeysuckle, intertwined with the refreshing scents of green apple, pear, and a hint of citrus. The palate is greeted with a lively effervescence, accompanied by a harmonious blend of fruit flavors and a refreshing acidity. The Extra Dry style lends a touch of sweetness that enhances the wine's overall appeal, making it both approachable and sophisticated.
With an alcohol percentage of 11.5%, this Prosecco is light and easy-drinking, perfect for celebrations, aperitifs, or simply enjoying on a warm afternoon. Serve it chilled at around 6°C to fully appreciate its vibrant character and refreshing qualities. The wine requires no resting time and can be enjoyed right after opening the bottle.
