VARIETAL + REGIONS:
parkling wine consumption in the US continues to grow rapidly. At the head of that growth curve is Prosecco, a sparkling white wine from northeastern Italy (specifically the Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia wine regions). Prosecco is also the informal name for the grape variety used to make these wines, which is now known as Glera.
ABOUT THE WINE:
Lot 50 is made from grapes harvested in the southeastern Veneto from cordon-trained vines planted in alluvial soils. After a soft press, the must is cooled and then fermented in stainless steel. Secondary fermentation occurs using the Charmat method.
TASTE:
Aromas of fresh peaches leap from the glass along with hints of ginger and lilac. Once sipped, a shower of foamy bubbles dance soulfully on the tongue and then burst into a medley of crisp citrus fruit.
