Morrisons The Best Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, 75 cl

Product Information

Most Prosecco, whether DOC or DOCG, is made as Spumante sparkling wine or Frizzante (semi-sparkling). Prosecco DOC Spumante is the most famous and popular variety, with longer-lasting bubbles. Prosecco DOC Frizzante has bubbles that linger for a shorter time. A small proportion is made as Tranquillo (still wine), with no bubbles. [5] Tranquillo amounts to only about 5% of production, [21] and this wine is rarely exported. ConVal’s wines take the main elements we have come to recognise in our prosecco – young fizzy wines with simple, sweet fruity flavours – and elevate this basic formula into something much more special. Each has its own unique identity, whether it be due to the technique of an individual winemaker or the particular soil type of a certain vineyard. These wines offer a level of depth and sophistication that DOC prosecco just cannot rival. Think everything from steely, flinty minerality to those delectable autolytic notes of butter, brioche and toast which we usually associate with champagne. There is truly a Prosecco Superiore for every palate (although you may have to work a little harder to find it!) What you might not know is that Glera isn’t the only grape allowed in Prosecco wine! 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! Depending on their sweetness, in accordance with the EU Sweetness of wine Regulations for Terms used to indicate sweetness of sparkling wine, Proseccos are labelled "Brut" (up to 12grams per litre of residual sugar), "Extra Dry" (12–17 g/L) or "Dry" (17–32 g/L). [28] Extra-Dry has been the dominant style made, but the amount of Brut is now increasing. 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.

The terroir of Conegliano Valdobbiadene (terroir, by the way, is quite literally the French for earth, and is used in winemaking to describe the unique environmental characteristics of a growing region) is just as intriguing as you’d expect. The area sits upon a combination of marine and glacial soils, which sit side-by-side thanks to the ancient coming-together of the rising sea bed and the descending glaciers of the Dolomite mountains. The resulting landscape is undulating and dramatic, with the steep foothills of the Dolomites erupting magnificently out of the pancake-flat plains below. The verses are: Ed or ora immollarmi voglio il becco Con quel melaromatico prosecco. Di Monteberico questo perfetto prosecco eletto ci da' lo splendido nostro Canonico (in Italian), "And now I would like to wet my mouth with that Prosecco with its apple bouquet. From Monteberico this perfect favorite prosecco Our Priest give us.... Mr Priest Jacopo Ghellini brother of Mr Pietro and Mr Marco. Those cavaliers from their estate on the Mount Berico (Monte Berico) collect the Prosecco, that has the most rare qualities, that a wine could have from any other place." [16] [ failed verification] Monte Berico is the hill of the city of Vicenza.

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. 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).
