SEMI-SPARKLING WINE
Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG
Terroir (click here)
Semi-sparkling wine in the Valdobbiadene DOCG category is not yet well-known, but it testifies to the way our denomination has evolved. This is a niche wine that Andreola has decided to continue making, despite the fact that it has been a little overshadowed by Valdobbiadene DOCG sparkling wine. The semi-sparkling version undergoes second fermentation in pressure tanks, using the Martinotti method with slightly lower pressure than that for sparkling wine (maximum 2.5 bar).
Tasting notes (click here)
Short second fermentation produces a fresh, lively wine, a little less effervescent but extremely pleasant and easy to drink.
Casilir is a delicate Valdobbiadene DOCG. Floral and fruity, it has fine, elegant perlage that lingers. Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with any meal.
Recommended serving temperature 6-8 °C.
