Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG 2024 - Cà dei Zago

Valdobbiadene Prosecco DOCG - Cà dei Zago

A splendid sparkling wine obtained from Glera grapes with small percentages of local grapes such as Verdiso, Bianchetta, Perera, produced with the method of bottle refermetting. The grapes come from vineyards about 50 years, located at 400 meters above sea level. After the manual harvest, the grapes are fermented in steel tanks, and before it is completely finished, the wine thus obtained is bottled. In spring, as temperatures rise, refermentation will resume thanks to the remaining sugars. Prosecco Col Fondo has a straw yellow color, slightly veiled due to the presence of yeasts. On the nose, fruity aromas with citrus and floral notes stand out. In the mouth it is fresh, light, rustic with an overwhelming drink.

Service

We taste it at a temperature around 6/8 ° C. Wine to drink in the vintage.

Pairings

Ideal as an aperitif, first courses with fish and vegetables, to try with polyptychs to the sauce.

Cellar: Cà dei Zago

Cà dei Zago is located in San Pietro in Barbozza, one of the areas most prosecco production. Already in the 1930s, Christian's grandfather, the current owner, produced prosecco tradition according to tradition, to the fermented wine he added a small percentage of sugar and bottled. With the arrival of the first warm in the spring, it took up the fermentative activity in the bottle and the wine to the stappatura was vibrant and sparkling. Today, Christian, together with Marika, does nothing but follow the tradition. He cultivated his vineyards of Glera on two different parcels, one in San Pietro where we find sandy and clay soils the other at the village of Saccol with prevalence of sandstone rock. The plants are bred secondhand the rigid dictates of biodynamics and have an average age of 60 years. Christian Zago produces about 50000 bottles a year and its velvet-colored prosecco is the faithful mirror of a land of genuine peasant tradition.
