Villa Sandi Asolo Prosecco Superiore
Citrus and melon aromas fill the nose of this Prosecco with hints of fruit trees and a touch of vanilla. The finish has good length with crisp acidity and minerality typical to the Asolo area. Fine, persistent perlage with a fruity, flowery aroma and hints of ripe golden apple and small mountain flowers.
The dry, fresh and flavoursome sensation on the palate is followed by a fruity and flavoursome aftertaste. The perfect aperitif to accompany savouries, it’s ideal with steamed shellfish
How is the wine made?
Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first
racking, is put into controlled temperature tanks where it remains until it is used for the production of
the sparkling wine. The must with added yeast cultures selected by Villa Sandi is then put into vessels where fermentation
takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C to enhance all the harvest fragrances. Upon reaching
the required alcohol and sugar content fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a short settling period the sparkling wine is ready for bottling.
