Mionetto
Mionetto is located in the heart of the ValdobbiadeneConegliano D.O.C. in the province of Treviso. The winery was founded in 1887 by Francesco Mionetto. His descendent the ebullient Sergio Mionetto is still at the forefront of Prosecco production and knows all the local growers intimately. The wonderful Prosecco grape is at the heart of everything they do.
The Prosecco is a vigorous and hardy vine with looselypacked winged clusters of beautiful golden yellow berries nestled amongst large bright green leaves. Verdiso Perera and Bianchetta vine varieties which are considered to be of lesser stature can be used up to a maximum of 15%. The pressing takes place when the grapes harvested by hand and gathered from the various vineyards are transported to the winerywhere the work of vinification begins. Only the freerun juice from the heart of the berry is extracted and a a maximum of 70 litres of wine may be obtained from 100 kg. of grapes.
A great alternative celebratory fizz and very good with vegetables, vegetable soups and grilled fish.
Prosecco Bianchetta Verdiso Chardonnay.
This delicious spumante sparkler has good structure and is relatively dry in style. It has a brilliant colour and intense bubbles, with fine perfumes of apple fruit with hints of liquorice, honey and acacia.
