| CA` MORLIN Prosecco Superiore DOCG NV Vineyards 12 hectares in Conegliano, a sizeable quantity in this fragmented zone.
Vinification The fruit was picked relatively late and cool fermented in order to preserve the delicate aromatics of the grape. Both the first and second fermentation take place in temperature controlled stainless steel tanks. The `spumante` style of Prosecco is fully sparkling, with more carbon dioxide retained at bottling. Due to the quality of the fruit, we have gone for a lower level of residual sugar than is usual with Prosecco, so the wines are drier and more drinkable as a result. This is reflected on the label, which states Extra Dry.
Tasting Notes The fully sparkling `spumante` is DOCG Conegliano e Valdobbiadene from the 2009 vintage. It is soft, scented and grapey, with delicious lightness and a long lasting `mousse`. Perfect as an aperitif, it is best served between 6-8°C.
