Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG
One of the most precious traditions of the Veneto, Prosecco is the more popular name of a wonderfully fragrant and zesty native grape called Glera. Vinified using the Charmat method, this is an extremely appealing sparkler, showing a youthful freshness, relatively low alcohol content, and delicate perlage making it ideal for friendly aperitifs. The Canella family suggests tasting this sparkler in the unique Riedel crystal glass that was especially created by the family with the famous Austrian glass-makers to enhance the wine’s aromas and fragrance.
