Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry Contradagranda Masottina

The Prosecco DOCG Contradagranda Extra Dry is a sparkling wine from Masottina, a historic winery in the Conegliano area that has been producing wines and sparkling wines since 1946. The "vertical vinification" is practiced in the cellar, so the force of gravity is exploited during each production process.

The harvest takes place between the end of August and the beginning of September. The vinification is vertical, i.e. it is carried out using gravity, without the use of pumps. The must ferments in steel vats at 15-18 °C. Subsequently the wine remains in a pressurized tank for about 3 months for the second fermentation and ageing on the lees at a temperature of 13-14 °C, before being bottled.

In the glass the wine is pale straw yellow and has a fine and persistent perlage. The nose reveals fresh aromas of green apple, plum, pear and apricot. The sip is balanced and fresh, with a persistent finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with appetizers, even raw, of fish and meat.
