Prosecco Superiore di Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG Brut RDO Ponente 2021 Masottina

Prosecco RDO Ponente is produced by Masottina, a historic winery in the Conegliano area that has been producing wines and sparkling wines since 1946. "Vertical vinification" is practiced in the cellar, whereby the force of gravity is exploited during each production process. The acronym RDO stands for Rive di Ogliano, the cru in which the grapes from which 2 wines are produced, RDO di Ponente and RDO di Levante are born. Both wines represent the maximum oenological expression of Masottina.

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 straw yellow with golden reflections. The nose reveals fresh aromas of white flowers and aromatic herbs, bergamot, peach and medlar. The sip is fresh and balanced, with a long and aromatic finish.

Ideal as an aperitif, it goes well with fish appetizers, white meat and grilled fish.
