Description
What kind of wine it is
Valdobbiadene Strada di Guia 109 Brut is a sparkling wine from Veneto produced by Foss Marai. Made from Glera grapes, this Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco boasts an enticing aromatic profile, characterised by notes of unripe fruit and delicate acacia flowers. On the palate, the Brut dosage offers a balanced sip, where the lively freshness blends with a soft residual sweetness. This structural harmony makes it an elegant aperitif and the ideal companion for shellfish and white fish, expressing its utmost appeal when served chilled between six and eight degrees.
Where it comes from
The origins of this label are deeply rooted in the Venetian hills of Guia di Valdobbiadene. The name itself refers to the address of Foss Marai's headquarters, a testament to a strong territorial identity. The company pays constant attention to environmental sustainability and the study of yeasts to enhance the purity of the grape variety. The local climate allows the bunches to develop a vibrant acidity, essential for the character of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco. A unique ecosystem that ensures the sparkling wine has a distinctive stylistic signature and excellent evolution over time.
How it is produced
The creation of Valdobbiadene Strada di Guia 109 Brut aims to preserve the original fragrance of the fruit. White vinification prepares a clean base, followed by the prise de mousse carried out using the Charmat Method. The secondary fermentation in a pressurised tank, managed with technical precision, defines the final dosage and the effervescent structure. The balance between the residual sugar and calibrated acidity delivers a rounded sip and impeccable palate cleanliness, an unmistakable hallmark of Foss Marai's production.
