PROSECCO SPUMANTE BRUT

The Prosecco Spumante Brut of Almivisi expresses the estate's unmistakable style — a natural sparkling wine produced through alcoholic refermentation in autoclave following the Charmat method, from the Glera grape variety that is the defining component of all Prosecco production. It is the estate's celebration wine, the wine that opens occasions and toasts to shared pleasures with the same purity philosophy that governs every wine Almivisi produces.

The Glera grape variety is described in the catalogue with precision: large, long, sparse clusters with spherical, golden-yellow berries; pulp of medium sweetness, endowed with good acidity — ideal base characteristics for sparkling wines. Almivisi's Glera grows in the Eastern Venice terroir that the estate considers its most defining asset: the 45th parallel position, the coastal influence, the two great rivers, and the soil composition that the estate argues is comparable to Bordeaux's finest agricultural conditions.

The minimum sulphites philosophy that governs all of Almivisi's production applies to the Prosecco as rigorously as to the estate's more serious still wines — an unusual level of commitment in a category where preservatives are routinely used at much higher levels. This commitment to purity in sparkling wine production is consistent with the estate's founding philosophy of amazing purity in all products, far from any contamination.

The Prosecco Spumante Brut is the wine for every celebration, for every toast, for every occasion that calls for the particular freshness and festive character that well-made Prosecco consistently delivers. Available through UniqueWines.
