Morrisons The Best Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, 75 cl

Product Information

The main attributes of the property relate to the distinctive landscape, where nature and human history have shaped and been shaped by an adapted and specific system for viticulture and land use. Despite many changes, the attributes demonstrate authenticity, and are documented through sources such as inventories and cadasters, historical and religious paintings, and historical documents that demonstrate the introduction of the ciglioni, and the operation of the sharecropping system from the first land registries in the 18th century.

Base wines and a special sugar and yeast mixture (called the “tirage”) are added to the tank. As the yeast eats the sugar and ferments it releases CO2 which causes the tank to pressurize. Since the pressure has no where to go, it carbonates the wine. Voila! A sparkling wine!

Proposta di modifica del disciplinare di produzione dei vini a denominazione di origine controllata e garantita «Conegliano Valdobbiadene - Prosecco», in Gazzetta Ufficiale, 29 marzo 2019.

Unlike Champagne and Franciacorta DOCG, Prosecco is usually produced using the alternative Charmat–Martinotti method, in which the secondary fermentation takes place in large stainless steel tanks rather than in each individual bottle, [24] making the wine less expensive to produce, and the minimum production time is 30 days. Higher quality Prosecco using this method will ferment the wine over a longer period, up to around 9 months (Charmat Lungo). Nevertheless, the production rules for both the DOCG's also allow the use of the traditional method of secondary fermentation in the bottle, known in Italy as Metodo Classico. DOC and DOCG rules allow up to 15% of Prosecco wine to be a blend of Verdiso, Bianchetta Trevigiana, Perera, Chardonnay, Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, or Pinot Noir (vinified white). [4] [25] The view that Prosecco cannot be aged has been challenged by other experts. A tasting in 2013 of wines produced between 1983 and 2013 demonstrated the longevity of the wines from one of their top producers. [45]You will often hear winemakers here refer to their wines as ‘ruffiano’ … Google is unhelpful when it comes to translating this but ask an Italian what this colloquialism means and they’re likely to mimic the purring, sinuous motions of a cat. Intriguing, no? Ruffiano as I have come to understand it essentially means something sleek and sensual, velvety and seductive, and is the single best word for describing the impact that a great wine has on your tastebuds that I have ever heard. Conegliano Valdobbiadene wine appellation lies in the hilly countryside situated 50 km from Venice and around 100 km from the Dolomites. It is located near the center of the Treviso province and spreads across 15 Italian towns between Conegliano to the east and Valdobbiadene to the west. Tank method wines have a much more “freshly made” taste with stronger yeast-dominant aromas. This is why “lager” or “beer” are often used as flavor descriptors for Prosecco.

Most Prosecco, whether DOC or DOCG, is made as Spumante sparkling wine or Frizzante (semi-sparkling). Prosecco DOC Spumante is the most famous and popular variety, with longer-lasting bubbles. Prosecco DOC Frizzante has bubbles that linger for a shorter time. A small proportion is made as Tranquillo (still wine), with no bubbles. [5] Tranquillo amounts to only about 5% of production, [21] and this wine is rarely exported.

CONEGLIANO VALDOBBIADENE PROSECCO DOCG, PROSECCO SUPERIORE DAL 1876, su prosecco.it. URL consultato il 18 dicembre 2012 (archiviato dall' url originale il 26 dicembre 2012). The terroir of Conegliano Valdobbiadene (terroir, by the way, is quite literally the French for earth, and is used in winemaking to describe the unique environmental characteristics of a growing region) is just as intriguing as you’d expect. The area sits upon a combination of marine and glacial soils, which sit side-by-side thanks to the ancient coming-together of the rising sea bed and the descending glaciers of the Dolomite mountains. The resulting landscape is undulating and dramatic, with the steep foothills of the Dolomites erupting magnificently out of the pancake-flat plains below. The property and its attributes are subject to protection measures at national and local levels; and municipalities and professional associations have introduced additional safeguards through territorial planning tools and the formation of legal and voluntary charters. The protection of the rural landscape is primarily guaranteed by the rules of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG that favour the maintenance of the vineyards, ciglioni and other attributes that are fundamental for maintaining local traditions and to the protection of the agricultural biodiversity and associated ecosystem services. Un ruolo fondamentale nell'elaborazione del metodo fu giocato dalla Scuola enologica di Conegliano, dove nacque il metodo di spumantizzazione Conegliano Valdobbiadene, messo a punto da Antonio Carpenè, rielaborazione del metodo italiano. Ecco quali sono gli elementi distintivi. Dopo la vendemmia, l'uva, raccolta a mano nei singoli vigneti, è portata in cantina per dare avvio alle lavorazioni. [ senzafonte] Some winemakers are reviving the traditional Prosecco Col Fondo, refermented in the bottle but not disgorged, as the wines are left on their lees. This yeasty residue leaves fine sediment in the bottom of the bottle ( fondo in Italian) that imparts more complexity, texture and flavour. They can be served either clear or cloudy. These wines are labelled Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG, or Asolo Superiore DOCG. Col Fondo generally has a lower Frizzante-style 250 kilopascals (2.5 bars) of pressure.
