Prapian Estate Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Biologico Extra Dry NV

The grapes for this wine come from Tarzo in the DOCG Valdobbiadene area. Located in the foothills, cooling hillside breezes combine with warm sunshine creating the perfect microclimate for the Glera variety. The wide diurnal temperature range delivers warm, sunny days and cool nights which encourage the production of balanced, complex and aromatic grapes. Rainfall takes place mainly in spring, which replenishes the soils water reserves to nourish the vines throughout the warm, summer growth period. The soils of Conegliano Valdobbiadene have very ancient origins, deriving from raised sea and lake beds. Part of the area was influenced by the ancient glaciers of the Dolomites, which carried sediments downhill resulting in deep soils, rocky and sandy, rich in clay and iron oxides. In the remaining area, unaffected by the glaciers, the soils are marine in origin, with shallower marl and sandstone soils. The vines are Guyot trained and the grapes for this wine are organic.
