PROSECCO FRIZZANTE

The Prosecco Frizzante of Almivisi is a natural fermentation sparkling wine — pale straw yellow but brilliant by colour, obtained from vines of the Glera family, green and white, through a process of natural refermentation that produces a softer, more delicate effervescence than the pressurised autoclave of standard Charmat production. Beautiful and full of wealth, unmatched taste for any celebration.

The frizzante style — semi-sparkling, with lower pressure than fully sparkling wines — is one of the oldest expressions of the Prosecco tradition, and its naturalness of character makes it a wine of particular authenticity. At Almivisi, where natural products and techniques are the governing principle and minimum sulphites are maintained throughout the production of every wine, the natural fermentation approach to frizzante production is entirely consistent with the estate's founding philosophy.

The Glera grape — the defining variety of all Prosecco production — from the Eastern Venice terroir of the 45th parallel develops a particular freshness and a mineral character that distinguishes the estate's frizzante from more generically produced expressions of the same style. The green and white Glera vines that contribute to this production bring the specific aromatic character of the Eastern Venice coastal territory to the wine's profile.

The Almivisi Prosecco Frizzante is the wine for the most casual and most spontaneous of celebrations — the bottle opened on a warm afternoon with no particular occasion required, the wine that makes any moment festive without demanding formality or ceremony. Its pale straw yellow with brilliant colour is an invitation; its natural freshness is the answer to that invitation.
