NV Sommariva Prosecco Brut Superiore

100% sustainable and hand harvested Glera from 25 year old vines in the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Superiore zone, the highest designation for Prosecco. Vinified entirely in stainlesss steel. 11.5% alcohol.  Dry, crisp and elegant with delicate pear and almond notes, this is a superb bubbly for the price. Soft bubbles and an easy going personality make this a great aperitif. For several generations the Sommariva family worked the vines on the high plains of the Veneto, growing a mix of French and local varietals and selling off most of their crop as was common practice at the time, but it was Caterino Sommariva who pinpointed the slopes as the best place for vines and began purchasing hillside vineyards together with his wife Urbana in the 1970s.
