About This Product :
The Grapes: 100% Glera
The Appellation: DOC Prosecco- Provinces of Treviso, Padua, Belluno, Venice, Vicenza, Gorizia, Pordenone, Trieste and Udine
The Wine: Veneto’s classic aperitif: lightly scented Prosecco frizzante wine combining appealingly sweet taste and fruity nose.
Colour: Intense straw yellow, with appealing foam when poured, followed by appealing bubbles.
Bouquet: Fine, with pleasant fruity notes recalling golden apple, followed by intriguing floral sensations, especially rose.
Flavour: Appealing sweet/sour sensations well supported by final tanginess, nose sensations excellently perceived in afternose.
The Vinification: Harvested grapes are transformed into must in which primary fermentation takes place, followed by decanting stages to clarify the wine that will later become spumante (sparkling) with the foam-formation stage. The sugar needed for foam formation is added to the “base” wine before the same is placed in an autoclave where secondary fermentation takes place to reach 2.00.2.50 atm overpressure. It is right then that 47 Anno Domini Prosecco D.O.C. Frizzante is born.
The Pairing: Excellent alone as an aperitif with assorted appetizers. Suitable for accompanying all fish dishes, except tomato sauce/stewed options.
The Winery: It all started with grandfather Batista. He had always known what he would do when he grew up:
become an agricultural entrepreneur. Returning from the front as poor as when he’d left, he put to good use what no-one could take away from him: tenacity and even a little recklessness. So much so that he managed to make his dream come true: he started his own business, first flanked by his children and then also by his grandchildren. Today it’s the second and third generation that carry on this passion, which is much more than a job.
Even his grandchildren Cristian and Andrea followed their own spark of recklessness, founding the third and youngest winery of the family: 47 Anno Domini. The name comes from the Roman road which ran through the terrain where the winery was established, Via Claudia Augusta, whose construction started on the orders of the Emperor Augustus to connect Venice to the plains beyond the Brenner, and ended under the Emperor Claudius in 47 AD. So our name derives from the year the road was inaugurated, which we honour with the walkway that follows the route where it once was.
