Sacchetto – Prosecco Brut ‘Fili’ – 2021

Description

PRODUCER NOTE:
Cantina Sacchetto was founded in 1920 and today is run by Filiberto Sacchetto, alongside his son Paolo and daughter Beatrice. Together they oversee all aspects of the winemaking process, with attention, passion and great flexibility. Through innovation and investment in modern vinification techniques, they produce stunning still and sparkling wines for which the Veneto region has become famous.

VINEYARD:
Prosecco sparkling wine is made from the Glera grape variety, which was until recently also referred to as ‘Prosecco’. Changes in the laws governing the DOC mean that the grape can no longer bear the same name as the geographical area. The grapes for this wine come from the Treviso area in Veneto.

WINEMAKING:
The must was obtained by gently pressing the grapes in a horizontal press, followed by slow, temperature controlled fermentation with selected yeasts. The wine was made gently sparkling by the Charmat method; the sparkling wine was then aged in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and pure fruit aromatics. Further refinement took place in bottle, prior to release.

TASTING NOTE:
A delicious Prosecco showing vibrant notes of green apple and grapefruit, accompanied by subtle floral hints. Lovely structure on the palate, the ripe fruit is beautifully balanced by a refreshing finish.
