Accademia Rainbow Prosecco DOC 75cl (CASE OF 6)

Product Information

Prosecco is produced using the Charmat method (also known as “Charmat-Martinotti”), a process first developed in 1895 by Italy’s Federico Martinotti and improved a decade later by the Frenchman Eugène Charmat. Instead of producing the bubbles with the second fermentation in the bottle, a process sometimes used to produce the semi-sparkling version, the more modern method involves re-fermenting the wine in stainless steel tanks, where the bubbles are naturally created by the yeasts eating the sugar and creating CO2 and alcohol. Afterward the yeast is filtered out, and the sparkling wine is bottled. a b Blyth, Mark (31 December 2021). "How the politics of prosecco explain what took the fizz out of the Democrats".

Depending on their sweetness, in accordance with the EU Sweetness of wine Regulations for Terms used to indicate sweetness of sparkling wine, Proseccos are labelled "Brut" (up to 12grams per litre of residual sugar), "Extra Dry" (12–17 g/L) or "Dry" (17–32 g/L). [28] Extra-Dry has been the dominant style made, but the amount of Brut is now increasing. Collins, Guy (17 May 2016).

The first known mention of the name Prosecco is attributed to the Englishman Fynes Moryson, who used the spelling Prosecho. Moryson, visiting the north of Italy in 1593, notes: " Histria is devided into Forum Julii, and Histria properly so called... Here growes the wine Pucinum, now called Prosecho, much celebrated by Pliny." He places Prosecco among the famous wines of Italy: "These are the most famous Wines of Italy. La lagrima di Christo and like wines neere Cinqueterre in Liguria: La vernazza, and the white Muskadine, especially that of Montefiaschoni in Tuscany: Cecubum and Falernum in the Kingdom of Naples, and Prosecho in Histria."

In the region of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene DOCG, there are more than 150 producers, [27] and together they form the Consortium for the Protection of Prosecco from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene (Consorzio per la Tutela del Prosecco di Conegliano e Valdobbiadene). DOCG also has its own consorzio, with 94 producers. This sparkling wine has its origin in an area with a unique microclimate and soil composition, where vines find their ideal conditions for ripening. Most Prosecco, whether DOC or DOCG, is made as Spumante sparkling wine or Frizzante (semi-sparkling). Prosecco DOC Spumante is the most famous and popular variety, with longer-lasting bubbles. Prosecco DOC Frizzante has bubbles that linger for a shorter time. A small proportion is made as Tranquillo (still wine), with no bubbles. [5] Tranquillo amounts to only about 5% of production, [21] and this wine is rarely exported. Tribaut-Schloesser was founded in 1929 in the heart of the champagne region in Romery, near Epernay.

In addition, the grape-growing practices for Prosecco include highly traditional vine-training methods, using historic forms like the double-arched cane, the Sylvos or Sylvoz system, also known as the hanging cane, as well as Burgundy’s traditional Guyot vine-training method. These traditional forms help to create extremely aromatic fruit, often with rich notes of fresh apples, peaches, pears, and melon, as well as jasmine flowers, acacia blossoms, nuts, and fresh-baked bread. a b "Prosecco Types".

Some winemakers are reviving the traditional Prosecco Col Fondo, refermented in the bottle but not disgorged, as the wines are left on their lees. This yeasty residue leaves fine sediment in the bottom of the bottle ( fondo in Italian) that imparts more complexity, texture and flavour. They can be served either clear or cloudy. These wines are labelled Conegliano Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG, or Asolo Superiore DOCG. Col Fondo generally has a lower Frizzante-style 250 kilopascals (2.5 bars) of pressure.

Accademia Prosecco Red Details

In Italy, Prosecco is a ubiquitously used wine. [3] Outside Italy, it is most often drunk as an apéritif. As with other sparkling wines, Prosecco is served chilled. [34] Beyond Prosecco DOC, two additional geographic designations exist for special versions of the wine. The names Prosecco DOC Treviso and Prosecco DOC Trieste can also be used, but only if 100 percent of the grape harvest, winemaking, and bottling take place within the provinces of either Treviso or Trieste, respectively. While Prosecco is Italy’s most famous sparkling wine, not just any Italian sparkling can call itself Prosecco DOC. The wine enjoys a protected geographic designation label of DOC, short for Denominazione di Origine Controllata, or “controlled designation of origin.” Flood, Carlos (22 January 2021). "How Long Does Prosecco Last?". EulogyBar.com . Retrieved 11 March 2022. fermentation occurs in cuve close at a controlled temperature of 15 °C, to preserve the primary aromas of the grapes.
