The Prosecco DOC Korbel Prosecco is produced and
bottled entirely in the Prosecco DOC, Demoninazione di Origine Controllata,
located in North Eastern Italy. The Prosecco zone overlaps much of
Italy’s cool white wine growing regions, the Veneto and Friuli, and is located
close to the famous medieval city of Venice. Here along the
hillsides and valleys, the Glera grape thrives, and provides local producers
the base wine from which Prosecco is made.
Winemaking
Korbel Prosecco is
produced in the fully sparkling Italian spumante style. The process
starts by harvesting the Glera grapes and gently pressing them to make a
delicate crisp white wine with only about 10% alcohol. After the first,
primary, fermentation, multiple lots of the base wine are blended and filtered
to prepare for the Metodo Martinotti sparkling wine process. The
Metodo Martinotti process was invented in Italy, but is now known more
popularly by its French equivalent, the Charmat process.
In the Martinotti
process, the carbonation of the Prosecco is achieved by a natural secondary
fermentation in a stainless steel tank. As the second fermentation
progresses, carbon dioxide gas is produced which builds pressure in the sealed
tank. Eventually, the carbon dioxide dissolves into the
wine. The wine is then filtered and bottled on specialized equipment
that preserves the carbonation.
Wine Notes
Just as with Korbel California champagnes, Korbel Prosecco is focused on a fruit- forward
style. The goal is to make a Prosecco that is light, crisp and fun
to drink. The aromas are of white peaches, pear and lemon
zest. The flavors are delicate, bright and alive on the tongue. Korbel
Prosecco is finished with an Extra Dry level of sweetness, which softens the
wine without making it noticeably sweet.
Food
Pairing
Korbel Prosecco is
all about lightness, tangy bubbles and fun. Keep the foods light and fun too. Canapes
are perfect, try prosciutto and melon, chilled braised asparagus, calamari
fritter and local artisanal cheeses. Or if you want to try something
different, try Korbel Prosecco with your favorite or nigiri sushi.
