DIVICI PROSECCO ORGANIC
Fine bright perlage and delicate creamy foam. Pale light-yellow colour, delicate and complex bouquet with fruity notes that remind of peach, green apple with second notes of lemon. Floral notes of acacia and rose flowers combined with a light spicy Mediterranean bouquet. Fresh and soft on the palate with a well-balanced acidity and sapidity. Harmonic with a long and permanent aftertaste.

FOOD PAIRING
Serve at 8°- 10°C. Ideal as an aperitif, it is the perfect accompaniment to hors-d'oeuvres and delicate first courses. Also wonderful with sushi, fish and shellfish.
WINEMAKING
Harvested in in the second half of September. Grapes are carefully selected from the area of origin. The softly pressed must is stored in steel tanks for static cold decanting. Fermentation is made with selected yeasts at a controlled constant temperature of 18°C and is completed in 8-10 days. After settling, the winemaker carefully blends to achieve the Prosecco Spumante basic cuvée. Afterwards the wine is filtered and stored in stainless steel tanks with the addition of sucrose and selected yeasts to begin the second fermentation (Martinotti-Charmat method) at a controlled temperature of 14-15 °C. Once the wine has reached the required pressure levels, alcohol and sugar content, the wine is refrigerated and cold stabilized (-2/-3°C), filtered and then bottled.
REVIEWS
"Such a fine and delicate prosecco, with a beautiful light fragrance of pear and citrus blossom. The palate is lean and clean, with a refreshing feel. Lovely wine to drink now. This is the real deal and one of the best. Great value, too. 92/100"West Weekend Magazine January 2016"...this Italian original offers all that prosecco can give you — lighthearted, effervescent, fresh and fruity in a lemon barley cordial meets homemade lemonade way. It is spritely with easygoing zing, totally smashable at its low 11 per cent alcohol rating, and perfect as an afternoon aperitif or Aperol spritzer partner..."Herald Sun (Melbourne)/Mercury (Hobart) December 2015"Simple, good balance, bready and toasty." DF "Well defined fruit, some dosage present but delicate mild honeyed notes and enough acidity to give balance." ASNational Liquor News October 2015
