Valdobbiadene Prosecco Sup. DOCG Rive di Refrontolo Extra Brut 2022
.
Tasting notes
The bright straw yellow hue with a slightly greenish tinge, ushers in a bouquet of peach blossom and acacia, with fruity notes of white-fleshed fruits, particularly rennet apple and peach, and hints of herbs. In the mouth, there is an invigorating freshnessand a vibrant, caressing mouthfeel, with bubbles of extreme finesse which prolong and amplify the rich array of flavour, aroma and touch perceptions, and a surprising savoury note which brings an extra dimension and juiciness to the long finish.
Pairings
A decidedly gastronomic wine in style and versatility, it is the perfect companion to indulgent appetizers, vegetarian cuisine and delicate pasta dishes. Thanks to its underlying savouriness, it holds its own with main courses featuring shellfish and highly prized fish, as well as white meats, and cheeses with a soft or firm texture.
Why we like it
Amidst enchanting views and vine-clad hills, we find zones that have a particular vocation for viticulture, the “Rive” (“riva”, in the local parlance, refers to one of the very steep hillside slopes that are characteristic of this area). Our Rive di Refrontolo is obtained from the steepest and best vineyards, from grapes grown exclusively in the commune of Refrontolo. It is a Prosecco that expresses Glera’s more hidden side, composed of delicate fragrances, tanginess, and tightness. The extremely fine bubbles, resulting from maturation for at least three months on the lees in horizontal pressurized tanks, caress your palate precisely yet delicately with every sip, as well as prolonging the richness of the wine’s gustatory and aromatic sensations. A refined glassful for lovers of sparkling wines.
