Zardetto Prosecco Brut
Wine Description
Made from Glera grapes sourced from various vineyards in the hilly part of the DOC region, northeast of Conegliano. The first fermentation takes place after a brief maceration, which enhances the typical citrus and tropical aromas of the Glera grapes. These intense, fruity aromas are preserved through the second fermentation, which takes place in large temperature controlled stainless steel containers.
