La Gioiosa Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry 750 ML

Pale straw yellow, fine and persistent perlage in appearance. Intensely fruity on the nose with evident notes of ripe golden apple. Pleasant and elegant the floral note reminiscent of acacia flowers. Fresh, slightly sweet on the palate, soft on a savory base with a pleasantly fruity and harmonious finish. It is an excellent aperitif. It can accompany fish marinated with delicate aromatic herbs and first courses based on spontaneous herbs.\n \n Producer Information\n Founded in 1974 by the Moretti Polegato family, La Gioiosa (“The Joyous”) is named after the ancient name of the province where the wines are farmed and produced: Treviso, known in antiquity as a “joyous” region because of its lush farmland and widespread prosperity. Today, the winery produces a wide range of Proseccos, including classic Prosecco, low-calorie Prosecco, and organically farmed Prosecco. The winery is also a leader in the production of environmentally friendly wines and it strives to limit its carbon footprint by using alternative energy sources, including hydroelectric power generated by the nearby Piave river. The winery is currently converting its vineyards for Biodiversity Friend certification from the World Biodiversity Association. All of its wines are produced by immediately chilling the grape must to nearly freezing as soon as the bunches are picked. The must is then preserved low temperatures until the moment the winemaker decides to give it its sparkle. This costly but highly effective process helps to ensure the wine’s signature freshness and high quality. The historic Moretti Polegato family was recently recognized as one of post-war Italy’s “business leaders” by the Italian chamber of commerce for its role in popularizing Prosecco throughout the world.
