This elegant Prosecco from the prestigious Treviso region exemplifies the finest qualities of Italian sparkling wine. Produced by the renowned Follador family, this Extra Dry expression showcases generations of winemaking expertise and dedication to quality.
Winemaking
The wine is crafted using the Charmat method, where secondary fermentation takes place in large pressurized tanks called autoclaves. This method preserves the fresh, fruity characteristics of the Glera grapes while creating fine, persistent bubbles. The "Extra Dry" designation indicates a touch of residual sweetness that balances perfectly with the wine's natural acidity.

On the palate, it delivers refreshing notes of ripe pear and golden apple, complemented by subtle hints of honey and white flowers. The finish is clean and harmonious, with a perfect balance between sweetness and acidity.
Territory
The Prosecco DOC Treviso zone lies in the heart of Italy's Veneto region, where the unique combination of climate and soil creates ideal conditions for Glera grape cultivation. The area benefits from the cooling influence of the Alps and the moderating effect of the Adriatic Sea, while the well-draining hillside soils impart distinctive mineral notes to the wines.
