Cantina di Gambellara, Monopolio Prosecco Spumante Organic

Veneto, Italy

PRODUCER
Cantina di Gambellara is a cooperative winery founded in 1947.
Today it has nearly 300 members who farm 600 hectares on the
border between the provinces of Vicenza and Verona, only a few
miles east of Soave. In 2015, this Cantina merged with the Cantina
Colli Vicentini (from whom we buy the Ca’ di Alte wines). Alberto
Marchisio is now responsible for winemaking, with Matt Thomson of
Blank Canvas involved as a consultant.

VINEYARDS
The grapes are sourced from vineyards in the Province of Vicenza,
primarily situated on hillside slopes with a south-east exposure.
Cantina di Gambellara is a certified organic winery that pays
meticulous attention to vineyard management.

VINIFICATION
Cantine di Gambellara Prosecco was made using the Charmat
method. The grapes were hand-picked, and the stalks removed
before crushing. After soft pressing the must was fermented in
temperature controlled stainless-steel tanks until 10% ABV was
reached. The wine was then moved on to pressurized tanks
(autoclave) and an addition of yeast and sugar started a second
fermentation under pressure. After filtration and centrifugation, the
wine was refrigerated and bottled under pressure to preserve the
right level of dissolved CO2.

TASTING NOTES
Pale straw yellow in colour, this Prosecco displays a bouquet of delicate fruity notes of white pear and peach. On the palate is fresh, and fruity with a well-balanced acidity.
