Drusian Prosecco (Extra Dry)

The Drusian Family has been producing wine for three generations. It all started with Grandfather Giuseppino in the middle of 19th Century. His son Rino followed… all the way up until 1984, after which Francesco has carried on the duties. He is deeply enchanted by his land and its grapes, and it is thanks to him that certain technological innovations were made at this historic estate. Production at the moment is about 200 thousand bottles a year of Prosecco and Cartizze, thus it is limited in quantity and of an extremely high quality. No pesticides or insecticides are used on the vines, and only organic fertilizers are employed. Grapes are harvested manually and then pressed at one bar, so as not to affect the quality of the must. The wine is stored in low temperature vats and bottled without oxygen, to maintain its freshness and youthful quality. This is a rich Prosecco with a flowery fragrance and overtly fruity flavor. According to Wine Enthusiast: "This Extra Dry Prosecco opens with frothy cream and floral tones of jasmine and honeysuckle. It tastes lively and fresh in the mouth tanks to its well-integrated acidity and its piquant effervesence." (07/09)
