Description
What kind of wine it is
Astoria Galie Prosecco Treviso Extra Dry is a lively and elegant sparkling wine, made exclusively from Glera grapes. It stands out in the glass for its pale straw yellow colour, enhanced by a fine and persistent perlage. The aromatic bouquet is clean and inviting, with delicate fruity and floral notes that lead to a harmonious taste. On the palate, freshness and balance are supported by the typical acidity of the Extra Dry style. The sparkling process takes place in a pressurised tank following the Charmat Method, a choice that enhances the fragrance of the sip and the purity of the aromas, delivering the most authentic identity of the grape variety.
Where it comes from
This sparkling wine originates in the heart of Veneto, within the renowned Treviso area. The vineyards are located in the Susegana area, at an altitude of about 150 metres above sea level, where they benefit from optimal sun exposure. The vines are trained using the traditional Sylvoz system, which allows for perfect vegetative balance. The Astoria winery masterfully interprets the characteristics of these lands, creating a wine with marked freshness, which has earned important accolades in the main industry guides.
How it is produced
The grapes are harvested by hand between September and October, preferably at night to preserve the aromas. After gentle pressing and must decantation, the primary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature with the help of indigenous yeasts. This is followed by a month’s rest on the fine lees before the secondary fermentation in a pressurised tank. After about thirty days, the wine completes its journey with a brief maturation. Perfect as an aperitif, it pairs beautifully with starters and light dishes.
