Notes from the Winery: “Altaneve Z is the pinnacle of what Prosecco wine can be and aims to set a new standard for Prosecco Superiore D.O.C.G. wines. Its differences start with the 100% Glera grapes that are hand-harvested on an exclusive vineyard plot that imparts a distinctive minerality and floral elegance to the wine. Notably, the complexity of Altaneve Z is derived from a special 7+ month secondary fermentation. This extended fermentation and unique winemaking create the wonderful depth and complexity of a Champagne with the typical freshness of Prosecco, giving the wine a powerfully crisp, dry character highlighting both the minerality and the persistent, velvety perlage of the wine. Altaneve Z’s delicate floral bouquet boasts hints of apricot, fennel and spring flowers that pairs perfectly with shellfish, white fish, creamy cheeses, melons, and citrus fruits.”
James Suckling: “Intensely fruity, showing melon, peach and white-strawberry aromas. It’s medium-bodied and flavorful with a medium fizz and a clean, bright finish. 100% glera. Drink now.”
