Asolo Prosecco Superiore Fanò Extra Brut

Description

The Prosecco Superiore Asolo Fanò Extra Brut is produced in the most highly vocational wine-growing areas of Friuli Venezia Giulia, in the cellars of Astoria, which with its trademark and brand is known internationally for its excellent Proseccos at competitive prices. Founded in 1987 by a family of winemakers, it has made technological innovation and structure its hallmarks. In its evolution, Astoria has sought to differentiate itself from other wineries by creating highly sophisticated labels and bottles. Multifaceted and distinctive lines pair well with the products, offering a sensory analysis that starts with the sight and culminates in harmony with the smell and taste.

The Prosecco Superiore Asolo Fanò Extra Brut is produced purely from Glera grapes, coming from vines approximately 10/15 years old, harvested in September at the time of maximum chemical/organoleptic balance. Upon arrival at the cellar, the best grapes are softly pressed and the must is brought to static decantation. The vinification takes place in steel at 18/19°C with selected yeasts and is then left to mature on the "noble lees" for a month. To make the sparkling wine fresher, it is clarified before racking and secondary fermentation. The sparkling wine is made at 16/18°C for about a month to respect the aromas of the grapes and is followed by a period of aging on the lees for a few days. Once bottled, before being ready for sale, it rests in the bottle to stabilize all the treatments received and obtain its floral and citrus bouquet.
