Manufacturer: Conti D'Arco

Prosecco Spumante Brut
D.O.C.

The Conti d’Arco range includes a number of wines selected from the most acclaimed zones of the Trentino region by the oenologists of Gruppo Italiano Vini who oversee every stage of the production process: from the vineyard to the bottle. The name comes from the noble family who owns the medieval castle which, from the rock of Arco, dominates the vineyards of the impressive valley between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites.
Prosecco is probably the best known of the Italian sparkling wines. This is an aromatic grape native to Carso near Trieste (on the border with Slovenia there is a village named Prosecco) which some identify with the famous Pucino of ancient Rome. For centuries it has been cultivated in Trevigiano, especially in the neighbourhood of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano.

Grapes: 100% prosecco.

Vineyards: selected from the best hilly zones of Marca Trevigiana, sunny and protected from the wind by the Venetian Pre-Alps.

Vinification: the Prosecco Conti d’Arco is produced in a totally natural way, from the young must of the most renowned grapes for making into sparkling wines, coming from the best zones and carefully selected.

Wine: known for its lively foam, its fine and tightly formed beads and its bright, pale straw colour. On the nose it reveals a well defined bouquet of candied fruits and sweet-smelling flowers. The taste is clean and very gentle with natural residual sugar and a clean, aromatic aftertaste.

Optimum keeping: 1 year in bottles stored horizontally in cool, dark conditions.

Food matches: hors d’oeuvres, delicate first courses, seafood, fish and cold white meats; it is also excellent
as an aperitif.

Serving temperature: 8°
