Prosecco is the hallmark of Northern Italy. This sparkling drink began years ago as a rival to Champagne and Cava. While they certainly haven't won that battle, Prosecco has built an impressive reputation, and all of Europe is crazy about its accessible and refreshing style.
Brioso's Prosecco wines make us even more crazy about this sparkling wine. The affordable price, combined with the excellent quality, makes us fall in love with this sparkling wine. Brioso is developed by the Le Contesse winery, a centuries-old winery founded when Venice was still a republic. The winery now encompasses an impressive 155 hectares of vineyards, a large portion of which is located east of Valdobbiadene. And every wine connoisseur knows that this region is renowned for its sublime Prosecco wines.
The basis for Brioso's Prosecco is the Prosecco grape. These days, this grape is known by another name: Glera. Brioso's vineyards, nestled in Valdobbiadene's backyard, are overflowing with Glera grapes. Because the terroir is rich in limestone, the juice has plenty of minerality. After the harvest, which takes place in October, the juice is fermented at a cool temperature. This further emphasizes the freshness of Brioso Prosecco Frizzante.
