Climate: Temperate, with cold winters and hot summers. Average precipitation, with the highest amounts in June and November.

Farming Systems: Sylvoz

Yield: Maximum 180 gl/ha

Harvest period: Last ten days of September

Winemaking: Soft pressing using a pneumatic press, static settling of the must, temperature-controlled fermentation (16–18°C).

Secondary fermentation: In the spring following the harvest, it is traditional to bottle Prosecco with a slight residual sugar content so that, as temperatures gradually rise with the arrival of warmer weather, it begins to “ferment in the bottle” slowly, thus becoming crisp and lively.

Organoleptic characteristics:

Color: straw yellow, with a fine, persistent effervescence.
Aroma: It has a fresh aroma with pronounced notes of yeast and bread crust.
Taste: light and dry, with a balanced acidity that makes it harmonious yet lively. This sparkling wine has a pressure of about 2.5 atm, which is lower than that of spumante.

Food pairings: An excellent aperitif. Pairs wonderfully with all kinds of appetizers and first courses. It’s enjoyed during any social gathering with friends. It has been noted that this type of wine is particularly helpful for digestion.

Serving: Serve chilled at a temperature of about 8–10°C

Storage: Store in a cool, dark place. Avoid leaving it in the refrigerator for long periods of time.

Best served: Enjoy it young, within a year of the harvest. It may be sealed with a traditional crown cap, as was customary in the past. The “sur lie” method—that is, aging on the lees—represents the true tradition of our region and how “Vero Prosecco” was first created: on the lees…
