Description
What kind of wine it is
Astoria's Prosecco Butterfly Extra Dry is a sparkling wine from Veneto with controlled designation of origin, which precisely expresses the characteristics of the Glera grape variety, produced using the Charmat method. It displays a straw yellow colour with slight greenish reflections, animated in the glass by a fine and continuous perlage. The nose reveals a lively bouquet, characterised by notes of green apple, pear, melon and white flowers, accompanied by delicate candied hints. On the palate, it is soft and balanced, supported by an intense citrusy freshness and a pronounced mineral streak that lead to a persistent and clean finish, perfect for accompanying shellfish or the delicacy of San Daniele ham.
Where it comes from
Signed by Astoria, this Venetian expression originates in the heart of Prosecco Treviso. The grapes come from the hills of Refrontolo, cultivated at around one hundred and fifty metres above sea level, where they benefit from a favourable east-west exposure. This precise geographical location offers an ideal microclimate for the vines, ensuring the grapes are in excellent health and develop optimal aromas. The environmental context results in a sparkling wine with remarkable drinkability, able to authentically reflect its own territorial identity.
How it is produced
Vinification begins in September with the manual harvest, followed by gentle pressing and static clarification of the must at low temperatures. The first alcoholic fermentation takes place in steel tanks at sixteen degrees, strictly preserving the original aromas of the grape. The wine then moves to an autoclave for the prise de mousse according to the Charmat method. The entire production cycle is completed with a measured ageing on the lees for twenty to twenty-five days and a subsequent rest of five weeks, ensuring the final product's stability and a harmonious sensory balance.
