Carmina Prosecco Extra Dry; Conegliano/Valdobbiadene, Italy

Here is some information directly from the producer as to how the wine is made:

“It is a tradition to gather beneath the balconies in the small villages of the Treviso, and customary to drink a glass of lively Prosecco while chatting. We wanted to pay homage to this old tradition with this product obtained from grapes coming from selected vineyards of the Treviso piedmont. Obtained after careful on marc fermentation (without the skins), the wine is left to rest during the cold winters, which strips it of tartar and makes it clear. The second stage is started, refermentation with the charmat method. Selected yeasts able to ferment under pressure and at rather low temperatures and sugar in amounts such as to get the desired pressure with the next fermentation and the right pleasantness are added to the wine. The wine is fermented at a temperature of about 15°C and will reach the desired pressure about thirty days later. At this point the fermentation is blocked by refrigerating the autoclaves. The yeast drops to the bottom and the wine is ready for bottling after remaining at this temperature for 8-10 days.”

This elegantly-textured  wine flows onto the palate with layers of perfumed fruit. It shows outstanding delineation in its white peach/pear aromas and flavors, along with notable length and a long, satisfying finish. In short, this is an awesome Prosecco and a stunning value. Just slightly off-dry & delicious as an aperitif. Try It!
