Tasting Note

A fresh and elegantly dry sparkling wine with citrus and gently floral aromas that lead to a very refreshing palate of crisp green apple with a lightly honeyed character. An immediate crowd pleaser - yet with texture and depth underlying the bright fruit.

Try with antipasti

Kate Says

"If you love Prosecco, you'll love this. It's also made in Veneto using the same tank method of fermenation but just uses a different grape variety. In fact when people try it, they often prefer it. Drink like the locals!"

Producer Info

The Durello grape is local to the Veneto region - grown on the volcanic hillsides of Monti Lessini, between Verona and Vicenza. The name of the grape refers to the small, late-maturing berries (duro = hard). Durello's naturally high acidity and cool, hillside vineyards produce complex, long lived wines to rival Italy's finest sparklers. Production of Durello Spumante is mostly in the hands of a few small growers, traditionally producing bottle fermented wine with up to 6 years on lees. However the variety is also well-suited to the production of fresh, zesty, tank-method wines such as this - aged for 2-3 months on lees.

This wine is suitable for consumption by Vegetarians and Vegans.
