Vinification

The Prosecco Extra Dry DOC spumante is made following the white winemaking process. The grapes are softly pressed to obtain the must, which is then treated by refrigeration and filtration. Fermentation takes places in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks at between 18°C and 22°C and there is no contact between the must and the skins during this time.

Ageing

After the primary fermentation, stabilization and secondary fermentation (“prise de mousse”) follow according to the Charmat method. The residual sugar is balanced at the time of bottling according to the values for the Extra Dry classification.

Tasting Notes
