Vinification and Aging

• Fermentation: The wine undergoes a secondary fermentation in the tank method (Charmat), where the wine ferments with the yeast to create its signature effervescence.
• Maceration: There is no significant maceration, as the focus is on maintaining the fresh, fruity flavors of the Glera grape.
• Aging: After fermentation, the wine is left on its lees for several weeks to enhance its complexity and mouthfeel, while preserving its crisp and clean character.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: The wine has a pale straw-yellow color with fine and persistent bubbles, typical of a high-quality Prosecco.
• Aroma: The nose is fresh and expressive, with aromas of green apple, pear, citrus fruits, and a hint of white flowers. Subtle notes of honey and almond add complexity to the bouquet.
• Palate: On the palate, "Gondolino" is light and refreshing with a smooth, effervescent texture. The fruit flavors of apple and pear are complemented by a delicate touch of sweetness and a crisp, clean acidity.
• Finish: The finish is pleasant and rounded, with a subtle note of citrus and a lingering sweetness that balances the acidity, leaving a refreshing impression.
