The Wine
The brut “Strada di Guia 109” sparkling wine from the Foss Marai winery is produced with 100% Glera grapes grown in the vineyards owned by the winery and located on the Valdobbiadene hills and, more precisely, on the Stada Guia 109 from which this sparkling wine takes its name. This prosecco is certainly a well-balanced sparkling wine
THE WINEMAKING
The harvest is manual, and only the selected ones are brought to the cellar for winemaking. Once in the cellar, the winemaking starts with a soft pressing of the berries. Fermentation at controlled temperature follows in steel vats where the must rests for three months. The wine is then moved to an autoclave (Martinotti method) for the sparkling process. Foss Marai is one of the best known and most appreciated names in the world of Prosecco, a winery attentive to quality that offers precious products to the bubbles lovers.
THE TASTING
Straw yellow with greenish reflections and with a fine and persistent perlage. The aroma is intense with pleasant hints of white-fleshed fruit such as pear and peach, which leave room for floral notes, among which acacia flowers prevail to close with citrus puffs. Creamy and dry on the palate; very fresh with a long clean finish. Indeed this Prosecco is well-balanced and harmonious.
FOOD PAIRINGS
Perfect as an aperitif, it goes well with fish, even raw and white meats. Try it both with cold cuts and pasta with vegetable sauces.
