Loredan Gasparini Prosecco Brut DOCG Asolo
Loredan Gasparini are vine growers based in Montello, a natural oasis 50km from Venice. Founder Piero Loredan Gasparini was a charismatic figure who brought Bordeaux varietals to the Montello area in the 1950s. A decade later, his wines became a favourite of French President Charles de Gaulle.
Piero then passed the baton on to Giancarlo Palla in 1973. Who saw the potential to produce vibrant sparkling wines there too. He became one of the first producers in the area to make both traditional method sparkling wine and Prosecco, even obtaining the Asolo Prosecco Superiore DOCG in 2009.
- Loredan Gasparini Prosecco Brut DOCG Asolo is from the Giavera del Montello estate from vineyards that are over 40 years old
- Rather uniquely for Prosecco, it is fermented using indigenous yeasts
- This is a drier, leaner style of Prosecco with much more structure, complexity and minerality than most
Makes for the perfect aperitif, but also pairs well with oysters, lighter fish dishes, and salads.
