Description
What kind of wine it is
The Asolo Prosecco Superiore Fanò Extra Brut by Astoria is a dry and smooth sparkling wine. Made from Glera grapes, it stands out for its distinctive minerality and lively freshness. The bouquet is clean and elegant, with aromas of green apple, delicate white flowers and a subtle hint of exotic fruit. On the palate, it is clean and pleasantly dry, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage that accompanies a harmonious sip.
Where it comes from
The grapes are grown along the hills of Asolo, in the municipality of Refrontolo, in the province of Treviso. This area of Veneto offers optimal conditions for viticulture, giving the Asolo Prosecco Superiore a well-defined character. The vineyards, cultivated using the Sylvoz system, are around ten to fifteen years old. To preserve the quality of the fruit, a meticulous manual harvest is carried out in September, picking the grapes at their perfect organoleptic balance.
How it is produced
After gentle pressing and static decantation, the primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature. The wine matures for a month on the noble lees before being clarified. The prise de mousse follows the Charmat Method, taking place in an autoclave for about thirty days. A final ageing on the lees and subsequent rest in the bottle allow the sparkling wine to stabilise its components and develop fresh citrus aromas.
History and Curiosities
Founded in 1987 among the prestigious hills of Asolo, Astoria has established itself internationally by combining a strong family tradition with technological innovation. This renowned Venetian winery transforms every toast into a complete sensory experience, passionately enhancing the fruits of its 40 hectares of vineyard. The meticulous attention to detail is reflected in the iconic embossed faceted bottle, a masterpiece of design created to captivate the eye and anticipate the elegance and harmony of Prosecco Superiore Fanò.
