Prosecco Glera

Filter

Dry or extra dry sparkling wines are typically wines crafted from the white wine grape Prosecco (Glera). Prosecco sparkling wine crafted from the grape type rings similar Asti wine created in Piedmont, the Italian region famed for wines. Because of new methods of wine creation, the Prosecco variety is now used to craft expensive and high quality wines, and is used as a ingredient in the Bellini cocktail. Sometimes, the Prosecco variety is used to substitute with Champagne. Wines containing the grape variety are said to be increasingly popular outside of the regions of Italy, and were introduced in America in the year 2000. A second fermentation process is used for this variety that typically takes place in steel tanks, which makes the Prosecco wines cheaper and much more affordable. Every year, over 150 million bottles of Prosecco wines are produced, and most, around 60 percent, are created in the regions of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene . Pinot bianco or Pinot grigio are often added to the wines containing Prosecco, and can be labeled to show the sweetness levels of the wine. The label “Brut” can be used for Prosecco wines, which shows that the wines contain 12 liters of sugar. Labeling for these wines can also include “extra dry” or “dry” wines and these wines are usually not mixed. Prosecco wines are usually consumed when young, and can contain beautiful flavors that are light and fruit-like, including apple flavors, peach, pear or apricot.

Terre dei Buth Frizzante Rose Special Cuvee NV is made from 90% Glera and 10% Raboso.

Fresh, fruity with hints of gooseberry and redcurrant.

On top of being "Certified Organic", this is also "Vegan Approved".

Glera and Raboso are blended before foaming process into what we call "Special Cuvée", for its outstanding drinkability and delicate scents. Glera, which is the variety used to make Prosecco, brings the liveliness of the most famous Italian sparkling wine to this cuvée, which reaches perfection thanks to Raboso, which is an indigenous red grape of the Venetian region, well-known for its hints of red berries and smooth taste.

The grapes are coming from vines planted on gravelly soils.
Average age of the vines is about 10 years old.
Grapes are machine-harvested, so that the grapes are pressed about 10 minutes after picking,allowing to preserve the freshness of the fruit, and avoiding micro-fermentation that would take place by leaving the grapes for too much time in the vineyard after picking.
Each grape variety is harvested and vinified individually.
After picking, grapes are soft-pressed, and the primary fermentation is completed in about 10 days. Then fermentation takes place for 5-6 months, where the cuvée reaches the appropriate level of acidity for foaming, which is performed in stainless steel tanks, thermo-conditioned, for about 20-25 days.

Pasta, pizza and summer salads.

Review:

medium-length finish displaying accents of peach gummi bear, edible flowers, dole fruit cup juice, and gooseberry. A more serious take on Glera with the body and richness to pair with diverse cuisines."
