Mionetto Prestige DOCG Extra Dry Prosecco Yellow Label, 75 cl

Product Information

Prosecco is a white sparkling wine that is produced from a variety of grape called Glera in the regions of Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia in northeastern Italy. It is named after the small village of Prosecco. Only sparkling wines from this region using at least 85 percent of this grape can be called prosecco. Prosecco's flavor is generally a light-bodied and crisp and ranges in sweetness depending on the brand. The general rule for sweetness is if the bottle is labeled "brut" it will have the least amount of sweetness while bottles labeled "dry" and "extra-dry" will be a bit sweeter. In 2020, the esteemed Prosecco Consortium authorized the production of Prosecco DOC Rosé, ensuring its adherence to strict quality standards and granting it the prestigious DOC designation. The bubbles come from a second fermentation that’s carried out inside the bottle. The carbon dioxide formed can’t escape, so it dissolves into the wine – which is why, when the bottle is opened, the wine sparkles.

Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG is an appellation in Treviso, Italy, renowned for producing premium wines with intense flavors. At least 85% of the blend must be composed of Glera grapes, with the remaining 15% allowed to be comprised of Italian white grapes or international varieties such as Pinot Bianco, Pinot Nero, Pinot Grigio, and Chardonnay. The most popular Prosecco DOC wines are made from the Glera grape variety and may contain Pinot Bianco, Pinot Grigio, Pinot Nero, and Chardonnay. In some areas, a semi-sparkling version of Prosecco DOC may be produced, referred to as Prosecco Frizzante. This type of Prosecco is lighter in body and typically has a lower alcohol content than the brut version. The label may say, ‘Contains egg/egg protein/egg product/egg lysozyme/egg albumen’ or, ‘Contains milk/milk products/milk casein/milk protein’. Who doesn’t love the 'pop' and bubbles of a fabulous fizz, from Champagne, Crémant and Prosecco to Cava and English sparkling wine.

The ultra-high quality grapes grown in the hills of the Prosecco Superiore DOCG zone ensure this Prosecco Superiore its inimitable aromas and flavours of green apple, acacia blossom, and full-flowering wisteria.

In the production of Prosecco, the tank method yields a fresh and fruity beverage that is best consumed while young. The process begins with crushing and pressing white grapes, from which the free-run juice is extracted and poured into a stainless pressure tank known as an autoclave.

France’s largest family-owned champagne house has confirmed that it doesn’t use animal products in any of its champagnes or during the manufacturing process. Crémant is a sparkling wine made in France via the traditional method, but from outside the Champagne region. A number of regions across France produce it, and as with Champagne, there are strict quality controls for production. The grape varieties that go into the blend depend on the region it comes from, making it difficult to generalise when it comes to style. Some are light, lemony and fresh; others weightier with tropical fruit flavours. Crémant wines tend to taste younger and lighter than the more complex toasty flavours of Champagne.
