Morrisons The Best Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, 75 cl

Product Information

Whether you are a lover of prosecco or not, the sparkling wines of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, with their surprising flavours and unique identity, are the very definition of ruffiano: playful, seductive, surprising, and unquestionably delicious! It is the aim of premium wine makers all around the world to produce startling, stunning wines which truly reflect the unique conditions that the grapes have grown in and the passion which goes into every single step of the winemaking process. It’s a shame that thanks to mass production and low prices, many of us don’t comprehend that a prosecco can be produced with the same love and care as a fine red Bordeaux or white Burgundy … but I assure you, it can and is! 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] A bottle of Prosecco di Conegliano spumante extra dry and a glass of Prosecco frizzante, which stops forming bubbles soon after it is poured La prima è la pressatura, condotta utilizzando macchine sofisticate, che agiscono sugli acini in modo soffice, così da estrarre solo il mosto fiore, che proviene dal cuore dell'acino. Da 100 chilogrammi di uva si ottengono al massimo 70 litri di vino. Segue la decantazione, dove il mosto torbido viene lasciato riposare a freddo (5-10°C) in vasche d'acciaio per circa 10-12 ore. Al termine dell'operazione la parte limpida del mosto inizia la vinificazione grazie ai fermenti naturali che, aggiunti al mosto, provocano la fermentazione alcolica, che si svolge per 15– 20 giorni in vasche d'acciaio ad una temperatura costante di 18-20 gradi. Al termine della vinificazione si ottiene il vino base. In 1754, the spelling Prosecco appears for the first time in the book Il Roccolo Ditirambo, written by Aureliano Acanti in Novoledo, in the municipality of Villaverla located in the Province of Vicenza. The wine was then known by the local Slovene-speaking population as Prosegker or Prosekar and was grown on the Adriatic coast near the villages of Contovello, Prosecco, Santa Croce and the former Roman villa town Barcola.

Except for Col Fondo and any Método Classico Prosecco, most Prosecco does not ferment in the bottle. Usually, it should be drunk young, [41] preferably within three to five years [43] of its vintage. However, high-quality Prosecco may be aged for up to seven years. [44] Koelliker, Beat (2008). Die neue Hallwag Weinschule: Mit 13 Weinproben zum Weinkenner (in German). HALLWAG. p.104. ISBN 978-3-8338-1221-7.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. Insalata Caprese is a true classic of Neapolitan cuisine, but it works wonderfully with the wines from up north as well. The dish is a perfect combination of ripe tomatoes, mozzarella, and fresh basil. The locals describe it as a simple but delicious salad that comes from the island of Capri, as its name sounds. The boundary of the property is of adequate size, and contains the attributes of Outstanding Universal Value within a topographically distinct and intact landform. Despite many changes and challenges posed by pests, wars, poverty, and the industrialisation of viticulture, many of the attributes such as the vineyards, ciglioni and architectural elements demonstrate a good state of conservation, and the patches of forest have been maintained. Ecological processes are critically important for the sustainability of the landscape and the vineyards. Threats are currently managed, although the state of conservation of some elements (particularly architectural and urban elements in the buffer zone) require improvement, and climate change has accentuated the incidence of landslides. The landscape could be vulnerable to irreversible change due to the pressures of production of Prosecco within a growing global market. Agricultural and viticultural techniques for maintaining the integrity of the landscape are continuing, including manual harvesting.

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. Talk to any of the many proud ConVal winemakers who have dedicated their lives to Prosecco Superiore about what makes their wines special, and you will receive the same answer: The ultimate aim of producers here is to create a sparkling wine full of identity and individuality which truly expresses the unique terroir of the region, enhancing the natural characteristics of the Glera grape.

Ambiente e mercato: una sinergia possibile. p. 43-86, Pieve di Soligo: Consorzio per la Tutela del Conegliano Valdobbiadene. Erbazzone is a traditional pie from Italy, that is especially popular in the province of Reggio Emilia. This pie has a humble origin, as it was a part of the “poor cuisine” because it was traditionally made from ingredients found easily in the vegetable garden and on the farm.Il metodo di spumantizzazione storico è il Martinotti-charmat da cui si ottengono le versioni Brut, Extra Dry (che è la versione tradizionale e la più consumata) e Dry in base alla concentrazione di zucchero residuo dopo la rifermentazione in autoclave. The wine was defined by the grape used to make it, Prosecco. The village of Prosecco was about 150km from the growing areas, and had never grown the glera grape. British importers started to be interested in importing the wine in quantity; in response the Italian minister of agriculture expanded the " denominazione di origine controllata" (DOC) to cover far-away Prosecco. This was followed by claiming UNESCO world heritage status for "Prosecco Hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene" a few years later. [17] [18] Prosecco was introduced into the mainstream US market in 2000 by Mionetto, now the largest US importer of Prosecco, who reported an "incredible growth trend" in 2008. [19] According to a 2008 New York Times report, Prosecco rose sharply in popularity in markets outside Italy, with global sales growing by double-digit percentages since 1998, aided also by its comparatively low price. [3] [19] The UK became in the mid-2010s the biggest export market for Prosecco, consuming one quarter of all Italian production. [20] Production expanded massively, to €500m sales in 2019. [18] 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. These two regional designations are a half-step up from basic Prosecco. These wines are produced in a much smaller area and thus, quality is slightly more controlled. Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG 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]

It’s possible to blend up to 15% of the other indigenous grapes that grow in the region. These include names like Bianchetta, Verdiso, and Perera – quite rare indeed! Now, before I get too carried away with Brontë-esque descriptions of breath-taking landscapes, let’s return to the subject at hand. The immense beauty and complexity of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene terroir, the centuries of viticultural learning and the passion of the Veneto winemakers all ultimately contribute to one thing … the production of top-quality Prosecco Superiore. Does it taste different? Asolo Prosecco DOCG is the only region in the area that allows for an “Extra Brut” style (with only 0.4 carbs per serving).
