Description

ABOUT THE PRODUCER:
Cantina Sacchetto is located in the heart of the Veneto region. Founded in 1920, today it 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, combining tradition with innovation. In 2022 Sacchetto was awarded the Equalitas Certification which officially recognises social, environmental and economic pillars of sustainability, through biodiversity, carbon and water footprint and ecological cultivation practices. Through innovation and investment in modern vinification techniques, the family produces stunning still and sparkling wines for which the Veneto region has become famous.

ABOUT THE 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, where the vines are planted in alluvial soils and are sustainably cultivated.

THE WINEMAKING PROCESS:
The grapes were destemmed and then gently pressed to extract the juice. The must began fermentation in stainless steel tanks to retain the purity of fruit, at controlled temperatures of no more than 18 to 20°C. The wine underwent secondary fermentation in pressurised tanks, as per the Charmat method. Selected yeasts were used for the “prise de mousse”.

TASTING NOTE:
Fine bubbles, the wine is fruity with a floral and fresh bouquet. Hints of citrus on the finish.

GRAPE:
Glera 100%.
