Ag. Ag. Althea, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene

White sparkling wine derived from Prosecco grapes grown on hills and fermented in autoclaves following the Charmat method. This is the supreme example of sparkling Prosecco, with a harmonious structure which offers a delicate aroma of apples. The fresh and fragrant character of this wine, together with its fine and persistent pérlage, make it suitable for any occasion.

Grapes are harvested manually and then pressed at no higher pressure than one bar, so as not to affect the quality of the must. After being processed, the wine is stored in low temperature tanks and bottled without oxygen, so as to maintain it fresh and youthful, with a rich flowery fragrance and fruity flavor.
