Description:
This classical Prosecco sparkling wine is slightly sweet with a velvety taste. The special sparkling winemaking technique perfectly enhances the basic aromas and flavours of this superb wine. The bouquet exudes intense green apple and wisteria flower aromas and the taste is fresh, fruity and well balanced.
Its aroma is predominantly apple, edged with fresh flowers. Consistently harmonious with a delicious froth and distinctly creamily textured finish and a good length. (6 x 75 cl)
Casa Coste Piane is a small estate in Santo Stefano, heart of the Valdobbiadene area. For generations their wine had been sold in bulk but since 1983 they decided to bottle the production themselves. The vineyards lie on slopes close to the cellar and the vines are on average 60 years old and their roots can grow up to 30-40 metres long. This Prosecco is a gem, it is one of the few made in the champenoise method wherein the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. Harvest is usually between the last week of September and the first week of October. In April the wine is bottled without the addition of yeast and sugar, subsequently the indigenous yeast contained in the wine starts a second spontaneous fermentation that lasts for approximately four weeks. After this the wine spends a further four weeks sur lie. The process of "disgorgement" is not practised, therefore the yeasts are still present in the bottle. This fine Prosecco is clean, pure and elegant, mineral with crackling citrus notes, easy-drinking and at the same time complex. (6 x 75 cl)
From the Valdobbiadene hills, a mouth wateringly fresh, fragrant wine, with a light, persistent sparkle produced by re-fermentation in tank. Dry and well balanced this is a wine to enjoy. Available in 1.5 Litre Magnum bottles. (6 x 1.5 Litres)
