Marco Bianchi Ho servito l'Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG Millesimato extra Brut di Cirotto a una cena speciale: freschezza e mineralità eccezionali, perlage fine e persistente.
The Product in Brief:
Produced from our vineyards located on high hills, Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG is a pure expression of the typicality of our territory.
The clayey soil and the strong temperature range between day and night give this wine a marked minerality and a fascinating aromatic range.
The care we put into the vineyard is meticulous: we reduce the use of machinery and pesticides to a minimum, preferring manual work that respects the balance of the soil and favors the presence of wild microfauna.
We have developed a system for managing carbon dioxide during primary fermentation, which helps limit the oxidative effects of oxygen in the wine; by doing so, we are able to significantly reduce the addition of sulphites in the wine and allows us to certify this on the back label of our bottles.
In the cellar, once the grapes have been pressed, all the marc is recovered to be transformed into compost, which will become a beneficial organic bio-fertilizer for our vineyards.
The harvest is completely manual, ensuring that each bunch arrives at the cellar intact, ready for a delicate pressing that preserves the purity of the must.
On the palate it stands out for its freshness and flavour, with a fine and persistent perlage that enhances every sip.
Ideal as an aperitif or paired with fish dishes, this wine represents the elegance and refinement of the Asolo hills.
We have condensed the expression of the vineyards of origin, the seasonal variability and all our ability to obtain this Asolo DOCG Superiore without residual sugar (brut nature).
The flavour is the predominant component that follows the mineral freshness and the typical fruitiness of the Asolo DOCG Superiore from the high hills.
Extreme attention to the entire production process has allowed us to maintain a quantity of sulphites lower than the limits imposed by the organic wine production regulations.
