Cielo e Terra, Casa Defra, Prosecco Frizzante, DOC, Veneto, Italy

Description

Producer Profile: Cielo e Terra is a joint venture between two families, Cielo, who have been making wine for over a century in Veneto, Puglia and the Cantina Sociale Colli Berici. Drawing on the Colli Berici’s vineyard resources, combined with the Cielo family’s winemaking skills, their partnership consistently produces wines which are fantastic value for money from both indigenous and international varietals.

Viticulture: Individual vine-growers contribute their grapes to the wineries based on personal cards recording all identification data of the production areas. During vintage, the agronomist in charge verifies the extent of maturation of the grapes and establishes vintage timing accordingly. Upon arrival at the winery, grapes are selected by type, area of origin and sugar content, as these indications are fundamental to determine the wine quality potential. Each bunch is trimmed to increase concentration, grapes are hand picked.

Winemaking: Soft pressing and fermentation with maceration at a controlled temperature no lower than 20 ° C and in the presence of yeasts. Storage in steel tanks at a controlled temperature always below 20 ° C trying to protect the wine with nitrogen to avoid the oxidative effect of the air.

Tasting Note: Bright straw yellow in colour, with a delicate and fine bouquet. A beautifully fruity frizzante!

Food Matching: The perfect celebration wine, or beautiful as an aperitif
