Winemaker Notes:
Made from one of the Oldest Grapes grown in Italy
Vineyards Founded in the 9th Century
The winery named Abbazia, which means "Abbey", was selected because of its proximity to the historical Benedictine monastery dating back to the 12th Century. The monastery was originally a Roman Temple dedicated to Jupiter, and the original winery was built adjacent to the Benedictine Abbey monastery in 1848.
A traditional "old world" style spumante, this wine is made of 100% Prosecco and is Aged for 1 year using traditional spumante fermentation processes, and is suggested to be consumed within the year of release.
At sight the wine is a brilliant golden color with hints of light maroon and pink highlights.
On the nose it has a delicate feel of roses and underwood. On the palate the wine is slightly dry, sweet and soft, supple and aromatic with a wonderful and delicious finish. An excellent wine to enjoy anytime!
