Andreola è una delle principali realtà vitivinicole di riferimento del territorio di Valdobbiadene. Fondata nel 1984 da Nazzareno Pola, è riuscita ad affermarsi nell'olimpo del Prosecco grazie alla qualità dei loro vini, concentrandosi - non da meno - sulla diversificazione e l'espressione dei singoli territori - le cosiddette "rive" - riuscendo a creare bottiglie di spiccata personalità e qualità. L'Etichetta del Fondatore, che porta di nome di Nazzareno Pola, è l'ennesimo esempio dell'elevata qualità di Andreola, conquistando i Cinque Diamanti DiWineTaste e il titolo di migliore vino per il mese di Aprile 2025.

This is the weekly columThis column runs on Wednesdays in most markets—Christmas Day in 2024. If you have not secured your wine before now, no chance today. We can, however, look forward to New Year's Eve and New Year's Day.Sparkling wines are stars of New Year celebrations. Statistics indicate roughly 25 percent of all Champagne is sold between Christmas and New Year's Eve. Something like 360 million glasses of sparkling wine are consumed on New Year's Eve.People who don't usually drink sparkling, drink sparkling around the New Year celebrations. On a more sobering and serious note, New Year's Eve statistically is the most drunken night of the year, with sparkling wine playing a major role. The unfortunate quip is “New Year's Eve is amateur drunk night.”Enjoy wine in moderation so you can be around for the next annual celebration. With that in mind, a primer on the types of sparkling wine:• Champagne. Produced exclusively in the Champagne region of northeastern France (no matter what some rogue labels claim) using the traditional method (méthode champenoise) with secondary fermentation in the bottle. Three primary grapes—pinot noir, chardonnay, and pinot meunier.• Crémant. French sparkling made outside the Champagne region, using grape varieties typical to their regions using traditional method.• Cava. Spanish sparkling, primarily produced in Catalonia. Made using traditional method using Spanish grapes xarel·lo, macabeo, and parellada; also chardonnay and pinot noir.• Prosecco. Italian sparkling from the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia regions using the Charmat method where secondary fermentation occurs in large tanks. Glera is the prime grape.• Franciacorta. High-quality Italian sparkling from Lombardy primarily made with chardonnay and pinot noir using traditional method.• Asti and Moscato d'Asti. Sweet sparklings made in the Piedmont region of northwestern Italy using the moscato bianco grape. Asti is fully sparkling (spumante). Moscato d'Asti is semi-sparkling (frizzante).• Sekt. German sparkling made with various grapes, some using traditional method, others Charmat.• New World Sparklings. Made in U.S., Australia, New Zealand and some other countries using traditional grapes and traditional method.• Cap Classique. Sparkling in South Africa using various grapes, primarily chardonnay and pinot noir, using traditional method.• Junk Sparkling. My term for very cheap wine infused with CO2 in the same way as soda pop. Guzzle this dreck at the close of 2024 and it is unlikely you will enjoy the dawn of 2025.Last roundMan walking home after too much sparkling at a New Year's party.

On episode 8 of WineText TV, I dive into the world of Prosecco and sparkling wines. The episode highlights the growing popularity of Prosecco in the U.S., its historical evolution, and its value as a high-quality yet affordable alternative to champagne. Hope you enjoy it!

It hits all the right notes for a DOC Prosecco. The nose has slight floral aromas with a hint of poached apples. The palate is very refreshing, with casual bubbles and great balanced fruit. You could trick some folks into thinking it costs more." Non Vintage Zardetto Prosecco Brut Z Non Vintage "Fresh and sapid. Pleasantly acidic thanks to the citrus note enhanced by the flavour of green apple." - Winery Non Vintage Issimo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Extra Dry "Direct from the Veneto region, this sparkling white wine is produced in the Heart of the Prosecco producing region in the town of Refrontolo. It is made from 100% Glera grapes that are fermented and then refermented to preserve their organoleptic quality. The second fermentation employs the “Martinotti” method, also known by the French name “Charmat.” Ideal as an aperitif, with appetizers of savoury pies, canapes and throughout the meal, first courses and fish dishes." - Winery 2022 Silvano Follador Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut "The wine is an ‘extra brut' with no residual sugar, a decision we intentionally made to enhance the original flavor and achieve a natural balance between acidity, sapidity and structure." - Winery Check out my new book - Day Trading Attention: https://garyvee.com/dta — Thanks for watching! --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/garyvee/message

Ich 'verfolge' Prosecco seit gut 30 Jahren - und er 'verfolgt' mich. Die tiefsten Tiefen habe ich miterlebt, genauso wie den sensationellen Aufschwung seit dem Jahre 2009. Doch was ist Prosecco eigentlich, was ist 'Glera'? Und was hat es mit den Herren Martinotti und Charmat so auf sich? Wie bedeutend ist Prosecco überhaupt und wie steht dieser 'Spumante' im Vergleich zu Cava, Crémant und Champagner eigentlich da? Nicht nur zum Hören, sondern auch zum Nachlesen auf der wirtzwein.de Seite!

Sean Moncrieff was joined Mick O'Connell, Sarina Bellissimo and Olivia Fahy with thanks to Marks and Spencer.Today's wines are listed below:RAZA PET NAT Pet Nat is an abbreviation for Petillant Naturel, a naturally sparkling wine. The fermented wine is still bottled in the bottle, which stops the fermentation there, so a little CO2 and yeast precipitate is formed in the bottle. The wine is not filtered or sweetened (no dosage) and the wine is now closed with a regular crown cap. The wine is made with natural yeast and uses minimal sulphites. Spontaneous fermentation ends in the bottle, as a result of which a pleasantly natural cloudy layer remains in the wine. This refreshing, sparkling wine is full of fruity and lively orchard flavors. The natural sediment makes the wine cloudy, while adding many interesting nuances to the taste, the wild yeast makes the wine tasty and easy to enjoy. STOCCO PROSECCO Refined, elegant bouquet. Fine on the palate with typical Prosecco preservation of quality, floral and fruity hints of white peach. Excellent as an aperitif and for the whole meal, excellent with delicate first courses. Glera grape grown on the flat with gravelly substrate covered by earthy material with low density - 3500 plants to hectare. Soft pressing, static decantation, fermentation in stainless steel tanks, second fermentation according to the Charmat method in autoclave with selected yeasts at a controlled temperature. Tinned pear and peach aromas with a little mineral inflection. Great party wine.

Think you know Prosecco?!? Not so fast! We bet you didn't know that most of the Prosecco you are drinking is on the sweet side. Who cares, you say? We love it no matter what, you say? In this episode we are going to tell you why you should care, and why you should be seeking out the BRUT Prosecco! You dig?!? We all know that the Holidays are made for celebrations, and celebrations are the perfect opportunity to pop open a bottle or two (or three or four) of Prosecco. But this year we are begging you, beseeching you, to take the extra minute to find the brut Prosecco, rather than the dry or extra dry. Why, pray tell, does it matter? Well, the sweeter Proseccos, while fun and tasty, often mask a lesser wine. The brut Proseccos don't have as much sugar to mask the sometimes lower quality, and so you are getting a better sparkling wine experience. Seriously! We wouldn't lie at this time of year. You think we want to end up on the Naughy List? Are you nuts?!? We also talk about why the name Prosecco and the name of the grape it's made from called Glera are kind of recent inventions. But you'll have to listen in to find out more. It's like an early Holiday gift!

What is the forecast for Prosecco sale in the near future?5.Are cocktails like spritz popular in Italy?6.If people travel to the Prosecco region, what can they see and do.Hi, everyone and welcome to the show. This episode is made in collaboration with the Prosecco DOC Consortium. Today we are very lucky to have a special guest in the studio Ms. Tanja Barattin, representing the Prosecco DOC Consortium in Italy. First of all, welcome to the show, Tanja . Hello, everyone. Thank you for having me today.Actually, I should say welcome back, because last year, if you remember, Tanja was on the show talking about Prosecco already.Yes, exactly. It's a pleasure to be back with you today.And it's my pleasure. I mean, still probably some of our listeners haven't listened to that particular episode. So could you give us a brief self-introduction about your role in the Prosecco DOC Consortium? What exactly do you do?Yeah, sure. I'm Tanja Barattin, I'm the promotional department manager at the Prosecco DOC Consortium. So my role is in marketing and promotional activities in the China and foreign markets, and I coordinate events and recreation for Prosecco DOC.I see, so definitely representing Prosecco. Then can you give us a very brief idea of what is Prosecco to people who have probably not heard of it or just heard of it briefly? What is Prosecco?Prosecco is one of the most worldwide consumed Italian sparkling wine. It is produced with Glera grapes and it's named after the former village of Prosecco. So we can see the Prosecco is expression of a specific territory which is located in all these of Italy lying between the Dolomites to the Adriatic Sea, a unique area that we call as a dreamland. Thanks to the particular interaction between climate, soil and wine making tradition.So Prosecco is a location name.Yeah, it's a location. It represents a territory with specific rules collected also into production specification and also the supply chain. So from the vineyards and wine sell out into the labeling and commercialization.I see, so to sort of like make an analog so that audience can understand, is it a bit like when people think of champagne, this is the wine from champagne area. When you people think of Prosecco, this is a specific dual tag. It is the same, actually DOC, so the Denominazione di Origine Controllata (controlled designation of origin) prosecco was born in 2009 from the wine makers, and sparkling houses of nine provinces between the regions of Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia, and these in order to link in this solemnly the wine to its territory of origin.

#ItalianSecrets #ElkeHeselmeyer #DNEWS24 #Prosecco #valdobbiadene Für viele Menschen gehört ein Gläschen Spumante oder Prosecco zur Begrüßung als Willkommensgruß unbedingt dazu. Doch wussten Sie, dass sich nicht alles Prosecco nennen darf, was auf Basis der sogenannten Prosecco-Traube produziert wird? Die Winzer in dem Gebiet um Conegliano hatten es irgendwann satt, dass sich fast alles Prosecco nannte, doch kaum jemand wusste, was es tatsächlich damit auf sich hatte. Darum wollten sie „ihr“ Gebiet unbedingt „schützen“. Im Jahre 2010 endlich hatten sie ihr Ziel erreicht: Die „sogenannte“ Prosecco-Traube hieß von nun an Glera. Und Prosecco durfte sich tatsächlich nur noch der „Perlwein“ Prosecco nennen, der zu mindestens 85 % aus der Glera-Traube bestand und zudem auf dem definierten Gebiet angebaut worden war. Doch damit nicht genug. Die neuen strengen Auflagen definieren das Anbaugebiet, Herstellungs- und Abfüllort sowie die Gebinde: Die Lese der Glera-Trauben darf ausschließlich in der Region Friaul-Julisch Venetien sowie in den Provinzen Belluno, Padova, Treviso, Venedig und Vecenza stattfinden. Darüber hinaus müssen in dieser Region die Vinifikation (Verarbeitung der Trauben) sowie auch die Abfüllung des Prosecco stattfinden. Dadurch wurde das Qualitätsniveau deutlich angehoben.

I'm so excited to be here with you today. Great.I know that you work with Prosecco from an expert's point of view, but for our listeners a lot of them probably don't really know that much about Proseccos, some of them probably have never heard of Prosecco, so first things first, what is Prosecco？Yeah, we can say that Prosecco is the worldwide leading Italian sparkling wine, a representation of Italian excellence, coming from a specific territory located in Northeast side of Italy, switching between two beautiful regions which are Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia.Italians had a long history of making Prosecco.Yes.So when was Prosecco first made going back in history?If we look to the nowadays areas of production which is represented by these nine provinces between these two beautiful regions in Northeast of Italy, we found first wine production since the Roman Empire, so very long time ago.Wow.But the first, we can say oral mention about wine sounding Prosecco goes back to the 1382, and were in the most Northeast side of the region in Trieste province. That time some historical people, wine studying, Plinio, a Naturalis historia study of Plinio il Vecchio found this wine called ‘Pucino', and they think that was the ancient name of Prosecco. (Prosecco Wine: History, Information, Interesting Facts - WebFoodCulture)That was the original.Yes.

I see. But if we look to nowadays, Prosecco is made by a very big family because especially the DOC is represented by more than 12,000 grape lords, so the one that the cultivated grapes; 1,200 wine makers, the one that takes care to the base wine, production; and 360 sparkling houses, so the one that takes care of the bubbling, so the second fermentation and bottling.

Today's wines with thanks to Marks and Spencer included: Prosecco Rose All Prosecco comes from Northeast Italy. Prosecco Rosé is a relatively new category with the Consorzio the Italian regulatory body permitting its production from Nov 2020. M&S were the first major retail to launch Prosecco Rosé. The M&S Prosecco Rose is made by a family winery based in the Del Bianco family located in the heart if the Prosecco near the town of Conegliano. The grapes are Glera a white grape and Pinot Noir (or Pinot Nero in Italian) max 15%. Glera makes lively floral wines and Pinot Noir adds the strawberry red fruits. Prosecco Rosé as with all Proseccos is made by the Italian/Martinotti/tank method, where the still wines undergo a second fermentation in big, pressurised tanks to produce the lovely creamy bubbles. Proseccos are all designed to be drunk you and fresh to enjoy all the lovely floral fruity flavours. Classics Pinot Grigio M&S Classics range aim to have wines which truly represents the best quality and typicity of the region or grape. Italian Pinot Grigio can get a bad wrap as lacking flavour and insipid, but it Northeast Italy it can be made into a really flavoursome wine. The M&S Classics Pinot Grigio is made for us by a lovely family winery which is based in a repurposed brick making factory. M&S work closely with the family to make our own wine blend. We visit it them every year in November after the harvest to agree which wine parcels will go into our blend. We aim to get the wine to sing with fresh pear and white blossom notes, round and full flavoured but a wine that can be sipped on its owned or paired with fish and just about any Italian dish Lisboa Bonita This wine is made exclusively for M&S by Casa Santos Lima, based 25kg from Lisboa in Portugal; a country that makes the full range of wines from Sparkling, Red, White, Rose and sweet but are less visible on our shelves as they have a healthy home and tourist market. Portugal has a rich myriad of the local indigenous grape. This wine is made from a selection of these and includes Caladoc, Castelao, Tinta Roriz, Alicante Bouschet, Touriga Franca and Touriga Nacional. This blend gives to a rich full bodied oaked wine that has flavours of ripe black berries and bergamot. There are vanilla notes as well that come from the 6 months ageing in French and American oak for give this complex wine. The label reflects the beautiful blue and white tiles often seen in Portugal particularly buildings in the old town of Lisboa. This hearty wine is perfect for BBQs from the full meaty versions to the creative vegan dishes now being seen. The wine of course is vegan as all M&S wine are.

Castagner, uno dei nomi più celebri e importanti per i distillati di qualità, ha trovato la maniera per valorizzare il distillato italiano per eccellenza cambiando il modo di berlo e scegliendo di stupire: nasce infatti Grappa Prosecco ICE, l'unica grappa che si beve ghiacciata. Prodotta da uve Glera, le stesse che vengono utilizzate per il più famoso spumante al mondo, il Prosecco, unisce uno dei fenomeni enologici mondiali del momento a nuove modalità di consumo.

Ep. 595 Monty Waldin interviews Luigi Rossi Luciani from Le Volpi Winery. More about Luigi Rossi Luciani and his Estate: The Monte Fasolo and Le Volpi estates are located within the Euganean Hills Regional Park and enclose about 250 acres of vineyards growing on volcanic soil (90 of which certified organic and all of the rest in conversion to organic), more than 5000 olive trees, producing an outstanding Colli Euganei DOP Extra-Virgin Olive Oil, and dozens of hectares of woods with marked trails and paths. Destination and stop for walks and cycling excursions, with its breathtaking panorama, Monte Fasolo is a landmark in the naturalistic context of the Euganean Hills. The current owner, Luigi Rossi Luciani, a well-known entrepreneur in Padua, and his family have always had an ardent enthusiasm and affection for the area and about 15 years ago they decided to buy and totally restore Le Volpi Estate, directly producing organic wines and EVO. The estate is nowadays an elegant and quiet farmhouse with 14 rooms and a unique infinity pool over the vineyards. In 2017 Mr. Rossi Luciani together with a friend, Mr. Fausto Petagna, decided to buy the Monte Fasolo estate too, which is located just 5 minutes away from Le Volpi, right on the top of the Monte Fasolo hill. The winery had long been abandoned and needed a complete restoration. An impressive work has been done and nowadays the Monte Fasolo Winery is a jewel on the top of the Euganean hills, visiting the winery and walking through the 200 meters long underground cellar is a unique experience to remember! The vineyards are located between 200 and 400 meters asl, the varieties produced are mainly the typical wines from the Euganean Hills, an extremely vocated volcanic area, including,ì among the others Fior d'Arancio DOCG , Cabernet DOC, Merlot DOC and the Bordeaux blend Rosso dei Colli Euganei DOC and Metodo Classico Sparkling wines from different varieties such as Chardonnay, Incrocio Manzoni, Pinot Nero, Glera and Fior d'Arancio too, you really need to come and taste!

Semana de dos días. Con ganas de terminar el curso. Nos hablan del proyecto de Religión y la última excursión con Glera. ¡Felices fiestas de san Bernabé!

Prosecco is not only Italy's most popular sparkler, but recently it has surpassed Champagne to become the world's best-selling sparkling wine. In this show we go over the details of the Prosecco region, the winemaking techniques, and I share the most important thing about the wine and how to get the best: the DOCGs that make way better wine than the cheap and cheerful stuff at the supermarket.   By the end of the show you'll understand why Prosecco shouldn't be compared to Champagne (spoiler alert – it's not made the same and that's on purpose!) and how to get better versions of what you may already be sipping! Photo Valdobiaddene, Unsplash   Here are the show notes: Location: The Prosecco DOC is in North East Italy between the Dolomite Mountains and the Adriatic Sea. It spans four provinces of the regions of Friuli Venezia Giulia (Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine) and 5 provinces of the region of Veneto (Belluno, Padua, Treviso, Venice, Vicenza). Treviso and Trieste can add the special titles of Prosecco DOC Treviso and Prosecco DOC Trieste given their historic importance.  Given the vast area the DOC covers (23,000 ha/56,000 acres) and the diversity of soil – from poor hilltops to fertile, loamy valleys and plains – it is difficult to name a single style of Prosecco. Climates also range –from cooler sites with mountain or marine breezes, to very warm flat areas that produce masses of grapes for industrial wine. Source: Prosecco DOC Grape: The Glera grape is the main grape in Prosecco (although it used to be called the Prosecco grape!). It is grape prone to high yields, which must be controlled to get high quality wine. When it is grown on good sites, it has moderately high acidity, a lighter body, and relatively low alcohol levels (the wines are usually not more than 12% alcohol by volume). Flavors range but typically Glera exhibits melon, peach, pear, and white flower notes. Prosecco can also have up to 15% Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Glera lunga, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, and Pinot Nero grapes in the blend. Source: Prosecco DOC   Prosecco is NOT Champagne and it shouldn't be compared to it (or any of the other wines made in that method). The key difference in the flavor of Prosecco, apart from the Glera grape, is in the winemaking techniques (again, different from Champagne!!). In this process, you harvest the grape and make wine through a primary fermentation. But whereas in the traditional method of sparkling wine, where secondary fermentation takes place in individual bottles, Prosecco's secondary fermentation takes place in autoclaves, large steel tanks kept under pressure.   The process takes as little as a month (versus the required 9 months for most sparkling wine in made in the traditional method), and the wines do not rest sur lie for a long period of time, so the fruitiness of the Glera grape is maintained, rather than replaced with the yeasty, bready character from the yeast. Further, the pressure within the bottle is significantly less in Prosecco, making it a much less bubbly wine in most cases (although there are exceptions). The process has several names: the Martinotti Method, the Charmat Method, Cuve Close, Tank Method, or Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Method.   It's important to recognize that for grapes like Glera (or Riesling in Germany where this method is also used) preserving aroma while getting a fresh effervescence is the goal – they should not be handled like grapes used for the traditional method – the goal of those wines is different. Hence, we should not be comparing Prosecco to Champagne or other sparkling wines – it's apples and oranges, really. Source: Prosecco DOC   There are several types of Prosecco, they vary based on how sparkling they are: Spumante (sparkling), which is the most common and the most bubbly and has a regular sparkling wine cork In 2020, Prosecco DOC Rosé was approved as a new sub-category of Spumante. It must contain at least 85% Glera with 10-15% Pinot Nero. The wine must use the Martinotti/Charmat Method but spend 60 days in autoclave v 30 days for Prosecco DOC. It is vintage dated.   Frizzante (semi-sparkling), which has light and less persistent bubbles than Spumante an is more floral than fruity and often bottled with a screw cap. Proseccco Col Fondo, is a frizzante, but more specifically a pétillant naturel(pét-nat). That means a single fermentation takes place in the bottle from which you drink the wine. It is cloudy and full of lees, or dead yeast cells, and often a bit bready from years on the lees. Tranquillo (still), which is very uncommon and is bottled before the secondary fermentation   Similar to all sparkling wines, there is a sweetness scale for these wines, which you will see on the label: Brut Nature (0-3 grams per liter of residual sugar) Extra Brut (0-6 g/l of residual sugar) Brut (up to 12 grams per liter of residual sugar) Extra Dry (12–17 g/l of residual sugar) Dry (17–32 g/l of residual sugar) Demi-sec (32-50 g/l of residual sugar)     The DOCG The 20% of high quality Prosecco production happens around the smaller, hilly, historic DOCG towns of Conegliano, Valdobbiadene and Asolo. These areas have strong diurnals, poorer soils (meaning, better for the vines), and the wines are a few steps above general Prosecco. They are more complex, the fruit flavors are purer – lemon, peach, pear notes are strong as well as floral notes, flintiness, chalk, and saline aromas and flavors. The wines tend to have lower levels of sugar and are more terroir driven. They are trying to distance themselves from cheaper big-brand Prosecco DOC, some even have elected to remove the world “Prosecco” from their front labels.   Here are the Prosecco Superiore DOCG to seek out: Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a cut above and it's a fairly low risk way to see how better Prosecco tastes. Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore “Rive” DOCG is from the steep hills and top vineyards of 43 designated sites – these are outstanding terroir driven wines Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG is the top wine of Prosecco. It consists of 107 ha/264 acres of vineyards on the steepest hillsides of San Pietro di Barbozza, Santo Stefano and Saccol, in Valdobbiadene. Asolo Prosecco DOCG is outstanding, with great salinity and minerality as well   ________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors: Thanks to YOU! The podcast supporters on Patreon, who are helping us to make the podcast possible and who we give goodies in return for their help!

Era il 1638 quando il chimico belga Jean Baptiste Van Helmont descrisse per la prima volta il comportamento di una certa molecola formata da un atomo di carbonio legato a due atomi di ossigeno.CO2: la formula magica con cui battezziamo il nostro speciale viaggio fra tutto quanto è “mosso”. Ciò che un bevitore di cultura anglosassone riassume efficacemente in sparkling e che per noi significa districarci tra tipologie talvolta diversissime. Metodo classico, italiano, charmat, Martinotti, Talento, ancestrale, frizzante, pet-nat, per non parlare di Prosecco, Moscato, Lambrusco, e così via: c'è sempre un pezzetto che resta fuori e crea confusione, specie nella comunicazione generalista.Bolle che non scoppiano: è invece l'occhiello con cui sottolineiamo il successo dell'intero comparto, che ha visto ampliare in maniera incredibile la sua piattaforma territoriale, varietale e produttiva. Dinamiche commerciali, ma anche e soprattutto psicologiche: anidride carbonica che diventa ossigeno per corpo e anima con la sua capacità di evocare un'idea di convivialità e festa, spensieratezza e lusso prêt-à-porter, perfino ricompensa e consolazione, magari dopo una giornata pesante.Temi su cui ci confrontiamo ancora una volta con professionisti di prim'ordine, a cominciare dal resident guest della terza stagione, ovvero Giovanni Ascione.A lui il compito di guidarci nelle vicende umane e imprenditoriali di quei distretti che più di tutti hanno ancorato la propria identità alla vocazione spumantistica. Da pionieri come Giulio Ferrari e la famiglia Lunelli di Trento alle tante declinazioni del Prosecco, passando per l'Inghilterra dei Merret e naturalmente per le grandi maison e i récoltant manipulant della Champagne: ce n'è di che ricordare, visitare, stappare.E' un filone per molti versi complementare quello che seguiamo nel racconto di Mauro Mattei, collaboratore “trasversale” di spicco della famiglia Ceretto, in passato impegnato anche al fianco di Enrico Crippa a Piazza Duomo, ristorante tristellato di Alba.La sua preziosa esperienza sul campo ci permette di ampliare la nostra indagine sulla cucina contemporanea e soprattutto sulla sua capacità di dialogare con il vino nelle diverse forme, da quelli “jolly” (come spesso appaiono appunto le bollicine) ai grandi rossi “importanti”. E per bonus track una succosa anticipazione che la dice lunga su quanto sia attuale la riflessione nell'universo fine dining.Infine un Ispettore Palma più “frizzante” che mai: se ogni detective che si rispetti ha il suo signature drink, dai whisky di Marlowe ai Calvados di Maigret, figuriamoci un enogastro-detective di fama mondiale come lui, che ci parla del suo rapporto a 360 gradi con i vini del buonumore per antonomasia.TIPICAMENTE PRESENTAVino al vino 50 anni dopoUn podcast di Paolo De Cristofaro e Antonio Boco S3 E5ANIDRIDE CARBONICABolle che non scoppianoCon l'amichevole partecipazione di Mauro Mattei, Giovanni Ascione e l'Ispettore PalmaLetture e grafica di Tiziana Battistawww.tipicamente.itCREDITIVino al Vino | Alla ricerca dei vini genuini, Mario Soldati - Bompiani (2017)LETTURE, ASCOLTI, VISIONIChampagne.

The Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 is a $6.99 Trader Joe's Sparkling wine, but it is available at other retailers in different parts of the world. It sells at the Marks and Spencer store in London for the equivalent of 16 dollars US and at a similar price in wine shops in Ireland.A wine that is a store brand that sells for a meager price does not mean that it is a cheap wine. Sometimes, well, most of the time, store brands are bargains. The Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 is a vintage-dated Bubbly and a Rosé, a recent development for Prosecco.Prosecco was easy to define; it is a Sparkling wine made with Glera grapes grown in the Prosecco region using the Charmat Method. Rosé needs grapes with pink to red skin to get its color, and that usually means red grapes, but some White grapes such as Pinot Grigio can have enough color for Rosé.The worldwide popularity of Rosé caused some changes in with the wine authorities in Prosecco. A Rosé Prosecco is rated DOC and can include 10% to 15% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir). It can not be non-vintage; it needs to be vintage-dated. It is basically regular DOC Prosecco with Red wine blended in before bottling.The Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 is an Extra Dry Bubbly. Remember, with Sparkling wine, some of the sweetness ratings are backward. Extra Dry means slightly sweet, which is how most Italians prefer their Prosecco. Sparkling wine has enough acidity to balance the most sugary sweetness in the wine. The effect is more fruit-forward than sweet.A regular non-vintage Prosecco is a blend of several recent vintages to ensure a continuation of flavor from year to year. A Prosecco Rosé is Pinot Nero added to Prosecco grown in the same year, so these wines should see more fluctuation from vintage to vintage.The Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 is a $6.99 Sparkling wine in America, but a $16 Bubbly elsewhere. It is produced by a large Italian wine company that sells its wines under different labels in different countries worldwide. The alcohol content is a mild 11%.Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 Tasting NotesThe color is Barbie Doll pink, with a slew of energetic bubbles. The nose is not unlike the typical Prosecco, a blast of sharp grapefruit and assorted citrus, but the Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 also adds black cherry hard candy and faint stone fruit.This is a crisp, clean Sparkling wine, and the addition of Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) adds rounded flavor and some extra structure. It tastes like a tasty and unexpected mix of lemon and cherry, sort of a cherry lemonade sensation but not sweet. Then there is grapefruit, lime, a salty and nutty flavor, soft spice, and dried strawberry bits.The acidity and the extra sugar balance each other. The acidity adds a brightness and shine to all the flavor.The SummaryThe Conte Priuli Prosecco Rosé 2020 is a tasty Bubbly.I like my Champagne with Pinot Noir added in, and it turns out that I like my Prosecco with a bit of Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir).Do not let the $6.99 price tag put you off. If you think it is too cheap, you can always fly to London and pay $16.

The Giusti Asolo Extra Brut Prosecco is made from the Glera grape from Giusti estate vineyards in the Asolo DOCG region of Veneto about one hour north of Venice.Ermenegildo Giusti was born into a family from the region who had a history of making wine. As a young man, he left Italy and moved to Canada, and established a hugely successful construction business. In 20014 he moved back to Veneto and purchased a 5-acre vineyard. Today they have a beautiful facility with multiple vineyards.Most of the Prosecco region is designated as DOC wines. Italy has strict rules and regulations and a strong governing body to endorse them. While most of Prosecco is ranked DOC the Valdobbiadene region which is located in a hilly section near the center of Prosecco is designated as DOCG.Then there is the Asolo DOCG area that is located in the foothills of the Dolomites. While there has been wine produced there for a long time it came by its DOCG designation fairly recently.The DOC rating indicates strong rules and regulations pertaining to vineyard practices and winemaking. The G in DOCG stands for Guaranteed. It adds more stringent rules and oversite. It does not mean you are guaranteed to like the wine, only that the strictest quality standards were followed.Giusti Asolo Extra Brut Prosecco like all Prosecco is made with the Charmat Method. That is the process where the bubbles and incorporated into the wine. Champagne uses the Traditional Method which is a technique perfected in the 16th century. Charmat was invented in the Kate 19th century.A quick explanation of the Charmat Method is the grapes are fermented the first, more or less like all wine is fermented. Champagne Houses and Prosecco have their secrets that make their wines unique. With the Charmat Method the wine that has been fermented once is transferred to huge pressurized vats.A measured amount of yeast and sugar is added to the wine. The wine is then allowed to ferment a second time, but this time in a sealed vat that has been pressurized. In Champagne where the 2nd fermentation is performed in a completely different manner, the second fermentation lasts a year and a half and often longer.In Prosecco, the 2nd fermentation lasts from several weeks to several months. each producer uses their own methods for determining the proper amount of pressure coupled with the right length of time. Technology has knocked about 75% of the time it takes to put bubbles into wine.The Giusti Asolo Extra Brut Prosecco is a dry Sparkling wine. The three major classifications for dry Bubbly are Brut, then Extra Brut, and finally Nature which has no added sugar and is bone dry.If you think you know Prosecco and Prosecco DOSG there is a good chance you may not have tried Asolo DOCG Prosecco. Prosecco is the largest selling Sparkling wine in the world in terms of gallons, but Champagne is the largest in terms of dollars. Prosecco is far more affordable than Champagne. The alcohol content is a reasonable 11.5%.Giusti Asolo Extra Brut Prosecco Tasting NotesThe color is almost clear with just a hint of gold, with a flurry of energetic bubbles. The nose is crisp and clean, there is citrus, green apple, melon, a little minerality, and peach.This is not the flavor profile for the typical Prosecco, it is very dry with unique flavors. It tastes like a stew of Anjou pear, dried peach, lemon chiffon (not sweet), green apple, and lime.The mid-palate shows grapefruit, a slight creamy sensation, that salty, nutty "on lees" thing, and just a hint of candy spice. The acidity is very well controlled. It allows the flavors and texture to be bright and alive, but never bites or goes to far.The SummaryThe Giusti Asolo Extra Brut Prosecco is a Bubbly well worth tasting.It is easy to get into a rut with Prosecco, some of the ones readily available in the supermarket, while very tasting, can be indistinguishable from the next brand.I am not complaining,

Episode 94 - Melissa the Prosecco Queen Melissa first fell in love with Prosecco, the utterly delightful Italian sparkling wine made from the Prosecco grape (now known in Italy as ‘Glera’), in 2003 on a trip to Italy, where she discovered that its delicate acidity, soft bubbles and citrus/floral nose made it the perfect wine to drink at any time of the day or night. The Prosecco Queen is a multi-faceted business, offering Prosecco masterclasses, dinners and other special events, as well as an online wine and merchandise store with a hand-picked selection of Italian and Australia Prosecco for you to try. If she wouldn’t drink it herself, she won’t ever sell it to you because life is too short to drink bad wine! In this podcast we talk about how her business been affected since COVID, what she thinks COVID will do for event-based enterprises in the long term, and what areas of the hospitality industry will be hurt the hardest from this crisis.

The Presto Sparkling Rose' is a $9.99 Whole Foods North American exclusive made from the Lagrein and Raboso grapes grown in the Veneto and Trentino regions of northern Italy. Trentino and Veneto are well known for Alto Adige (Pinot Grigio) and Prosecco regions.Lagrein and Raboso are local grapes that are popular in Italy, you can find these grapes as single varietal wines at a wine shop with a good Italian section. Presto also makes a Prosecco and a Lambrusco, they seem to specialize in value-priced Italian Bubbly.Even though the Presto Sparkling Rose' seems to be produced in the same general area as Prosecco it can not be called Prosecco Rose'. Prosecco is a very specific wine, a Sparkling wine made with the Charmat Method using the Glera grape. They are very protective of their brand, so this is not Prosecco but Sparkling Rose'.In Italy Sparkling wine is called Spumante, it is the Italian word for Bubbly. Prosecco and Champagne are both Spumante but are more well-known for their brand names. Spumante in the US is synonymous with inexpensive, sweet Sparkling wines from the Asti region. So even though this should be a Spumante they use Sparkling wine to avoid any negative connections.A Rose' gets its pale pink color when the grapes are crushed the skins are left in the tank for a couple for hours and are removed when the desired color is reached. While the tasting notes do not specify the method the second fermentation was likely the Charmat Method or large pressurized tanks. The alcohol content is 11.5%.Presto Sparkling Rose' Tasting NotesThe color is a salmon pink and there are plenty of bubbles. The nose is a mix of cherry, lemon/lime, grapefruit, and dried strawberry. Very light and delicate.This an Extra Dry Bubbly which means slightly sweet, but there is enough acidity to counter the sugar. It tastes of crisp, sour cherry, a splash of minerality, tart apple, and tangerine. The mid-palate adds a salty, nutty sensation, a hint of vanilla, and tart cranberry. The acidity is well-balanced, this is a light, crisp, refreshingly Sparkling Rose'.The SummaryThe Presto Sparkling Rose' gets the job done. Well priced, very tasty, and well-made. There is not much you can ask for at this price range.If you enjoy a glass of Prosecco you will like the Presto Sparkling Rose'. Many of the same elements that make Prosecco so attractive are on display, but with a different, but pleasing flavor profile.Photo by Anthony DELANOIX on Unsplash

Il Comitato nazionale Vini del Ministero delle Politiche agricole alimentari e forestali ha accolto a cavallo del 21 maggio 2020 la proposta di modifica del disciplinare di produzione della Doc Prosecco che prevede l'introduzione della tipologia Rosé. La modifica sarà formalizzata attraverso la pubblicazione della Gazzetta Ufficiale della Ue. Il nome deciso dal Consorzio di tutela del Prosecco Doc per il nuovo vino è "Prosecco spumante rosé millesimato" e si prevede che potrà contenere dal 10% al 15% di Pinot Nero vinificato in rosso. Una buona notizia oppure un altro pezzo di spumantistica italiana a valore sacrificata alla logica dei grandi volumi?

Welcome to another episode of Exploring the Wine Glass. Today we return to Winephabet Street. So sweep those clouds away and come where the wine is neat. Come join me on Winephabet Street. Today’s letter of the day is G and it stands for Glera. Originally known as Prosecco, but as the region became a DOCG in 2009, the name was changed to Glera, the variety term to avoid confusion. Although the true origin of Glera is not proven, it is generally accepted that it originates from Prosecco, which is located near the Italian-Slovenian border. Today I am drinking Terre de San Venanzio Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Fortunato.

With the holidays just around the corner, we have some sparkling wine recommendations to take the guess work out of selecting wines. Big thanks to our friends at Palm Bay International and Taub Family Selections for providing us with samples for this episode. Although these wines were provided to us, the opinions and tasting notes in this episode are our own.   Budget Friendly Wines Villa Marcello Millesimato Prosecco DOC Brut NV - priced around $17. Villa Marcello Prosecco DOC hails from the province of Treviso, one of the finest growing regions of Prosecco. Grapes: 85% Glera, 15% Pinot Bianco Light aromas and flavors of apple blossom, lemon, and dried hay This wine doesn’t have bread or yeasty notes - it’s fruity and floral, very delicate and elegant wine Pere Ventura Tresor Brut Cava - priced around $16.  This Cava is a Reserva which means it’s aged 15 months on the lees the same as non-vintage Champagne  Light aromas of nectarines, fresh sage, minerality and yeasty notes Flavors of nectarines, fresh sage, white flowers and minerality Although we get a hint of breadiness in the nose, this wine is still very crisp and fruity We enjoyed this wine with a nice aged Gouda cheese but also would go with appetizers, hard cheeses, fried foods, and Asian cuisine Something different Ackerman Crémant de Loire Sparkling Cuvée 1811 Blanc Brut - priced around $22.  The name of this wine comes from its beginnings. Ackerman was established in 1811 in the small town of Saumur in the heart of France's Loire Valley by Jean-Baptiste Ackerman. Blend of 70% Chenin Blanc, 20 % Chardonnay, 10% Cabernet Franc and each variety is made into wine separately in view of maintaining its typical features up until blending at the end of winter. This wine has light aromas of golden apples, white flowers and a hint of breadiness We got flavors of golden apples, peaches, lemon oil and white flowers Very fruit wine that we thought it paired really well with blue cheese We think that this is a unique blend of grapes that people might not be as familiar with. Altemasi Brut, Trento DOC - priced around $24. The Trento DOC appellation is renowned for producing some of the finest sparkling wines in Italy and is known as the Italian alternative to Champagne  100% Chardonnay wine made in the traditional method that is aged on the lees for at least 15 months Light aromas of apples and bread almost like apple pie This wine has flavors of lemon, green apples with a hint of breadiness So when people think of sparkling wine from Italy they mostly think of Prosecco and Prosecco is super popular right now. So if you are looking for something different from Italy this would be a great option.  Splurge Wines Boizel Brut Réserve Champagne NV - priced around $50. 55% Pinot Noir, 30% Chardonnay, 15% Pinot Meunier The still wines from the year are blended with 30% of reserve wines kept from the previous two harvests, for consistency Post second fermentation, the wine is aged for three years on its lees, in bottle Intense aromas of bread dough, golden apples and honeycomb This wine has flavors of honeysuckle, green apples, lemon and a hint of bread We love the smell of this wine and the complex flavor profile Enjoyed this wine with Camembert and aged Gouda cheeses Champagne André Jacquardt Brut Nature Expérience 1er Cru Blanc De Blancs - priced around $100. 100% Chardonnay wine 60% Vinified in stainless steel, 40% vinified in older Burgundy oak barrels. No malolactic fermentation. Five years aging on the lees before disgorgement. Aromas of red apple skins, bread, rose and minerality It’s the driest of the wines in this episode and has high acidity with flavors of pink lady apples, rose, lemon, and a funky yeasty flavor This wine is crisp, fruity, floral and complex  A special treat for a special occasion

The StoryThe Kirkland Asolo Prosecco DOCG Extra Dry is a $6.99 Costco import exclusive sourced from grapes farmed around the town of Asolo in the center of the Prosecco region in Veneto, Italy. In California, the wine grape growing regions comprise of unique territories known as AVA's, such as Paso Robles, Sonoma, Dry Creek, etc., these boundaries are all location-based there are no government mandates on which grapes can be grown, how they are to be farmed, and how the wine is produced. In Italy, the government uses DOC and DOCG to designate territories, but also provide strict regulations on many aspects of the grape growing and winemaking, with the DOCG (G stands for guaranteed) being the strictest level. These rules and regulations are put in place to ensure quality or with DOCG guarantee quality. That does not mean that a DOCG wine will taste better than a DOC wine, that is up to the winemaker and your personal preferences. But to my way of thinking the actual quality levels are up to the individual wineries because it is possible to make top-quality wine in all Italian levels of wine, DOCG, DOC, IGT, and table wine. Most of the Prosecco region is designated as DOC, there is a very hilly section in the middle of the area that is deemed to be the absolute best place for growing the Glera grape, in the case of the Kirkland bubbles in the hills around the town of Asolo. This hilly section is rated as DOCG. Now, here is a bit about how Prosecco is made, first most Prosecco in the value price range is non-vintage, meaning that several vintages are blended together to maintain a recognizable "House Style", which is very important for Prosecco brands to create an identity. The Glera grapes (the exclusive grape of Prosecco) are kind of an empty canvas, you almost never see a Glera still wine (non-Bubbly) because it does not make a particularly interesting still wine. The Glera grapes are fermented the 1st time, each Prosecco House has its own winemaking tricks at this stage and when they decide the wine is ready it is transferred to huge pressurized tanks. These tanks are large autoclaves and are basically huge versions of the autoclaves used to sterilize surgical equipment and tattoo needles. Sugar and yeast are added to the vats and a 2nd fermentation begins. CO2 is released as a by-product of fermentation, but since the sealed vat is under pressure the CO2 has nowhere to go but back into the wine. This second fermentation can last a few weeks or a few months, the longer time allows the CO2 to better acclimate itself to the wine and become fine Bubbly. The alcohol content with the Kirkland Prosecco is 11%.The Tasting NotesThe color is a platinum yellow with a decent supply of tiny bubbles. The nose is lemon, green apple, melon, and grapefruit, with a hint of ripe juicy peach and a floral edge. This Prosecco has balanced flavors, solid acidity, and a nice dash of minerality. It starts with tart lemon, peach, Bosc pear, and melon. The mid-palate offers a juicy apple, a salty sensation, and not sweet lemon hard candy. The acidity is very persistent, it is not quite a lip-smacking acidity, but it is part of the flavor profile. The finish is strong and long.The Summary * This is an extremely solid Prosecco at an amazing price, $6.99. * There are only so many Prosecco producers from the Asolo region, with a little bit of sleuthing you can probably figure out who made it, but I would imagine all the producers from this area are first rate. * Keep the Kirkland Prosecco in mind for the Holiday party season, it is a steal at less than $7. * This is an extra-dry Bubbly which means slightly sweet, but remember solid acidity balances the sweetness, so the sensation is more nectar sweet than sugar sweet. 

The StoryThe Riondo Prosecco Spago Nero is 100% Glera grape from the DOC portion of the Prosecco region of Veneto in Northern Italy. The Spago Nero differs from the usual Prosecco in that this is Frizzante which refers to the pressure (atmospheres) inside the bottle. A typical Prosecco will have about 3 atmospheres of pressure (Champagne has 6 or 7) and a Frizzante Bubbly will have 1 or 2, in other words, light bubbles. The name Spago Nero translates to a black string. It refers to the original enclosure, which is still available, where the top is tied with a black string, this particular bottle had a screw cap. Bubbly with hefty atmospheres in the bottle need a big cork and cage, Frizzante can get away with a modest cap. The Spago Nero is also the #1 selling Prosecco is Italy.The Riondo is a medium sweet Bubbly, but with Sparkling wine, solid acidity can balance the sugar so it doesn't seem quite so sweet. Riondo is a huge winery with almost 16,000 acres of vineyards, but they have only been in business for 11 years. As per usual, Prosecco gets its bubbles from the Charmat Method, pressurized stainless steel vats. Not only are the bubbles less fizzy, but the alcohol content is also a rather modest 10.5%.The Tasting NotesThe color is a pale golden yellow, with plenty of energetic bubbles. The nose is delicate and light, lemon, melon, green apple, light spice, and pear. This is a medium-bodied Bubbly, fruit forward and the acidity does balance the sugar. It tastes of green apple, pear, dried apricot bits, and lemon chiffon. The mid-palate adds a salty, nutty sensation, and juicy peach. The acidity is just below lip-smacking good, but it does an admirable job of keeping the sugar/sweetness balanced. The finish is subtle and lengthy.The Summary * I can see why the Riondo Prosecco Spago Nero is the #1 Prosecco in Italy, it is super easy to drink. It goes down easy, the light bubbles and the low alcohol can keep you going for a long time without ill effects. * This is an excellent party Bubbly, where you want your guests to have a nice Bubbly, but you need low alcohol so they can get home safely. * A light and delicate Bubbly, with enough flavor to keep you interested and asking for more.

Herzlich willkommen zum zweiten Teil unserer Schaumwein-Serie in der es heute um die wohl zwei bekanntesten Vertreter aus dieser Kategorie geht: Prosecco und Champagner. DIE 3 Key Facts: Prosecco darf nur aus dem Veneto stammen und wird aus der Rebsorte Glera gewonnenChampagner wird nur aus den drei Rebsorten Pinot Noir, Chardonnay und Pinot Meunier bereitetChampagner wird nur mit der traditionellen Flaschengärung hergestellt.Prosecco ist der Inbegriff für la dolce vita und für leicht zugänglichen, günstigen Schaumwein. Sein blumiges, florales Bouquet gepaart mit relativ geringen Alkoholgehalt eröffnen ihm viel Zuspruch unter den Konsumenten. Leider zu oft findet man sehr „billige“ Prosecchi; seine Qualität hat früher unter einfachsten Grundweinen aus Süditalien gelitten. Deswegen wurde u.a. die zu verwendende Rebsorte von Prosecco in Glera umbenannt und sein gesetzlich geschützter Ursprung auf das Veneto und das Friaul eingegrenzt. Es gibt ihr als Spumante und Frizzante und als DOC- und DOCG-klassifiziert. Ein kleines zerstreutes Angebaut im sog. Randzonenklima hat es mit einem sehr geschickten Marketing geschafft, sich zum Inbegriff für Luxus, Erfolg und Feierlaune zu mausern. Die Champagnerherstellung unterliegt einem umfänglichen Regelwerk, dem neben Anbau und Erzeugung auch die Abfüllung und der Verkauf unterliegen. Wir werden uns die Detail in Zukunft in einer eigenen Folge genauer ansehen. Heute soll es zunächst „nur“ darum gehen, das Geschmacksprofil eines typischen Hausstil-Champagner kennen zu lernen.

The Villa Sandi ilFresco Brut Prosecco is a DOC classified non-vintage Bubbly, 85% Glera, 15% Chardonnay & Pinot Blanc sourced from the Treviso region of Veneto (Venice) in Northeast Italy. Villa Sandi has been a wine estate since 1622, though Prosecco, as we know it today, has only been around for a little over 100 years. The il Fresco in the name translates to "fresh" and that refers to their production technique of refrigerating the crushed juice until it is needed. Then they ferment the juice a first time and then transfer the wine to a huge autoclave (a pressurized tank, it keeps the CO2 gasses released during fermentation from escaping) to ferment the wine a 2nd time (this is where the bubbles are formed), this method is called the Charmat Method. The wine is fermented in the autoclave (a much larger version of the machine that sterilized surgical and tattoo equipment) for 2 months "on lees". On lees indicated the dead yeast is left in the tank with the juice, it will add flavor and structure. By waiting to produce the Bubbly until needed for sale, it is always fresh and lively. As a non-vintage wine, the Villa Sandi Brut Prosecco is blended each year with juice from earlier vintages to insure the final outcome always reflects the "house style". With Sparkling wine, all the producers (in Prosecco and Champagne) use the same grapes, from the same general local, and use the same production methods. The important differences come from the small details, in the vineyard and during the wine production that allows the Bubbly to have its own unique personality. The alcohol content is 11%. The color is a mix of gold and platinum, with loads of highly energetic bubbles. The nose is crisp and clean, slightly yeasty, with aromas of lemons, limes, apples, pear, and a soft floral edge. This is a soft, rounded Bubbly, with an excellent dose of acidity. It starts with crisp Green apple, Meyer lemon, not too tart grapefruit, the "on lees" adds a salty nutty sensation. The mid-palate adds fresh lime and not sweet peach. The flavors are all well-balanced and the acidity will activate your palate. You will find yourself reaching for another sip without actively thinking about. The finish is crisp, clean and fairly lengthy. Summary * Second fermentation lasted 2 months, which is a solid length of time for an entry-level Italian Sparkling wine. The longer the time the better the integration of the bubbles. * The addition of Chardonnay and Pinot Blanc adds contrast to the usual Glera grape Prosecco flavor profile * The House Style, with all Bubbly, is a very important consideration. I used to buy which ever Prosecco was on sale. I think it is time to start thinking about the Prosecco that is "right" for me. The difference between the price of the "sale" Prosecco and what will be my favorite Prosecco isn't that large. So buy your favorite.

Prosecco İtalya’nın kuzeydoğusunda Veneto adlı bölgenin bir alt bölgesidir. Genellikle insanlar Prosecco’yu bir şarap olarak tanıyorlar. Tabii ki de bir şarap ama bu bölgenin tescilli şarabı. Nasıl Fransa’nın Champagne bölgesinin köpüren şarabına şampanya deniyorsa, İtalya’nın da Prosecco bölgesi köpüren şarabına Prosecco deniliyor. Üzüm eski, güncel olmayan kaynaklar da Prosecco olarak geçmekle beraber aslında bölgenin yerel üzümünün adı Glera. Glera üzümünden üretiliyor Prosecco’lar. Dünyanın en popüler köpüren şarapları diyebiliriz aslında. Doğal köpüren bir şarap ama tank metoduyla üretilen doğal köpüren bir şarap aslında. Zaten bu metodu da dünyada bulan aslında bir İtalyan. Tank metoduyla üretildiği için üzümün kendi karakteristik özellikleri olan kayısı, şeftali gibi kokular inanılmaz ön planda, çok tipik bir karakteristiği var üzümün. İtalyan şaraplarında spumante ve frizzante diye bir ayrım vardır. Etikette spumante yazanlar tam köpürendir yani içindeki basınç çok daha fazla olan şaraplardır. Frizzante yazanlarsa hafif köpüren şaraplardır. Yani içindeki basınç ve gaz çok daha az olan şaraplardır. Satın alırken buna da dikkat etmek lazım.

L’azienda Vigna Belvedere deve la sua storia all’appassionato lavoro di una famiglia di commercianti di legname e proprietari terrieri attivi nel nord-est d’Italia fin dal XV secolo e che all’inizio dell’800, decise di investire in diversi terreni e proprietà immobiliari nella pianura tra il Friuli Venezia Giulia ed il Veneto, al fine di facilitare il trasporto del legname dalle rigogliose foreste del Cadore alla laguna dell’antica Repubblica Marinara di Venezia. Nel secolo scorso, la gestione della proprietà, che oggi si estende su 110 ettari di terreno fertile, si è dedicata, oltre che ai seminativi anche alla cura di diversi ettari di vigneto con le varietà tipiche della denominazione Friuli-Grave, producendo, fino alla fine degli anni 80, vini quali il rinomato Refosco dal Peduncolo Rosso, il noto Merlot tipico ed il fresco Verduzzo frizzante.Come da tradizione, gran parte dei terreni della nostra Azienda vitivinicola, sono tutt’ora coltivati a seminativo.Tuttavia, in seguito ad un totale rinnovo dei vigneti, la nostra azienda ha preso oggi un nuovo slancio, grazie anche alle conoscenze acquisite presso la “Scuola di preparatori d’uva” di Simonit& Sirch, e all’applicazione in vigneto del metodo da loro ideato, che pone al centro dell’attenzione il benessere e il rispetto delle piante con una corretta gestione del suolo, al fine di tutelare la salute delle nostre viti e di chi ha il piacere di assaggiare i nostri viniLe nostre vigne si estendono su circa 20 ettari con le varietà Pinot grigio, Chardonnay, Ribolla gialla, Cabernet Sauvignon, Refosco dal peduncolo rosso, e Merlot tra qui spiccano 8 ettari di vigorosi filari di uve Glera.

On this week's show, we talk Prosecco with Alessandro Samogin from Borgoluce in the Valdobbiadene. He grew up on the property and his wife is now the winemaker; they grow all their food for the restaurant and estate as well as produce all their electricity on site. What a crazy operation! We talk about how Valdobbiadene is unique and special, how Glera is king for them, and how there is now becoming awareness of the Rive (similar to cru). And, so much more!

Giampaolo Venica works with his family at the Venica winery, in the Friuli region of Italy. Giampaolo Venica describes the Friuli as a region that has changed significantly in recent decades, and which is still in flux today. He notes the many changes in grape plantings and wine styles within the Collio, and questions what types of wines from the Friuli may find resonance with consumers in the future.

Located in the steep hills of Italy's Veneto lies Conegliano Valdobbiadene, the oldest region for producing DOCG Prosecco Superiore.
