Description
This is a modern story. Centuries in the making.
A scenic village in northern Italy has seen Prosecco flourish for hundreds of years. Avissi is a celebration of all things traditional—made new again. A tip of the hat to everything we adore about this corner of the world: the vines, the architecture, the style.
WINEMAKER NOTES:
Prosecco isn’t a trend. It’s tradition and heritage and history. Yet it’s entirely of the moment. That’s what makes it so alluring. At the center of it all is a lovely grape called Glera—you’ll know it as Prosecco; they’re one and the same—and an equally lovely village in the Veneto region of northeast Italy called, you guessed it, Prosecco. Italy’s answer to sparkling wine actually gets its name from this village, thought to be the home of our celebrated grape for centuries.
Glera thrives in the vineyards that dot the stunning hillsides and sweeping valleys of picturesque Veneto. A warm, temperate climate, matched by coveted soils of limestone, clay and marine sandstone, creates the signature fresh fruit and floral notes we love in the glass. And because Prosecco is made in the Charmat method, it has a lighter style and more delicate bubbles than its French counterpart.
We’re particular when it comes to how our Prosecco is made. The grapes for Avissi are selected from small parcels of Glera vines grown throughout the Prosecco DOC. Vineyard blocks are faithfully tended by growers whose families have farmed here for generations. Avissi is crafted in small batches using concrete fermentation tanks, elevating the quality of the wine. You’ll taste the nuance in the glass.
TASTING NOTES:
Avissi Prosecco is clean and bright, a crisp sparkler with soft, elegant bubbles that flutter in the glass, giving a lovely effervescence to each sip. A beautiful balance of heady floral notes and luscious fruit makes it imminently approachable. That’s why we love it with take-out after work or all dressed up on a Saturday night. Or, somewhere in between on Sunday. (Hello, brunch.)
