Sutto - Prosecco Spumante Millesimé Extra Dry

Let's talk little, let's talk wine

The SUTTO family has been running the estate for 3 generations now. The vines are located in the Piave Valley, near Treviso . The particularity of the terrain and the proximity of the Adriatic Sea are ideal for the production of quality wines. This cuvée is made from 100% Glera. The fermentation is carried out using the Charmat method, i.e. during fermentation in stainless steel tanks under pressure. The fermentation is stopped by lowering the temperature. This prosecco reveals notes of ripe apple , pear , melon , quince , white peach , citrus fruits, white flowers and pineapple . The palate is fresh with delicate bubbles and a delicious and fruity finish. A perfect companion for summer aperitifs or for making Spritz!

Where are we traveling?

Veneto Veneto is a major tourist and wine region located in the northeastern part of Italy. Veneto is a little smaller than some of the more important production regions such as Piedmont, Tuscany, Lombardy, Puglia and Sicily but in terms of production it now exceeds Puglia which for a long time was the region most important production. From a tourist point of view the region is blessed with the city of Venice, the Alps and the Dolomites. The best known wines of the region are Valpolicella and Amarones for the reds, Soaves for the whites and of course Prosecco which over the last 10 years has exploded on the international scene. The main grape varieties are Glera for Prosecco, Garganega for Soave, Merlot, Corvina for Valpolicella and Pinot Grigio.

The little history of the country

Italy

Ah Italy, what a beautiful hedonistic country, people of the Dolce Vita, but what difficulty in understanding its wine organization! The key to understanding the naming system in Italy is to think of it as several small countries rather than a single homogeneous country because each region has its own naming system. Italy can, however, give wine lovers a multitude of wines with varied and unique flavors and styles, as well as bottles filled with surprise and creativity. Unfortunately, it also produces a large quantity of soulless and characterless wines which are sold under their most useful and commercially reputable name: Pinot Grigio, Chianti, Valpolicella, Lambrusco, Prosecco and many others... But let's talk about history, viticulture in Italy dates back to ancient times and it originated in Greece. The Etruscans would have planted vines and Greek immigrants would have improved and modified the grape varieties who subsequently called this country "Oenotria": the country of wine. At the height of the Roman Empire, wine held an important place in daily life and certain regions already stood out for the excellence of their product. The Romans also established numerous vineyards in Europe, leaving an indelible testimony to their invasion. Today Italy is the largest wine producer in the world, ahead of France. Italy is divided into three climatic areas. The northern mountains experience a fairly harsh mountain climate. The “middle of the boot” plain is the domain of the continental climate with cold winters and hot, stormy summers. In the "southern part of the Italian boot" the Mediterranean climate reigns with very hot and very dry summers without forgetting the islands of Sicily and Sardinia. In summary, Italy produces wines of great variety thanks to its 200 different grape varieties, many of which originate from their lands. It is a country just as complex as its wines which deserve to be explored!
