Product Description
Veneto, Italy
San Feletto is located in the heart of the charming hillside ridge that, from Conegliano and up along the route to Valdobbiadene, circumscribes the production area of Prosecco DOC. A landscape of luxuriant hills, where the smell of wine is always in the air, as vines have been grown here from time immemorial. For three generations, San Feletto has been growing, harvesting and making wine exclusively with the best grapes, by selecting them from the most valuable vineyards.
The winery, owned by the Ceschin family, was founded at the beginning of the last century by Emilio, who grew his vineyard with passion and perseverance and sold the wine he had produced to the inns and taverns of the Marca Gioiosa, he himself carrying it in little wooden barrels on a horse-pulled cart. In 1930 his nephew Rino succeeded him and ran the company with enthusiasm and devotion for 60 years. It is currently run by his son Paolo together with his wife Imelda.
San Feletto Prosecco Brut is straw yellow in color with enticing aromas of sweet pear, nectarine, almond, mineral notes and white blossoms. Crisp and bright, moderately dry with medium body, this sparkling wine is richly textured with bright flavors of pears, nectarines, vanilla, and almonds. It is fruit-forward and well balanced, with a long, satisfying finish.
Enjoy San Feletto Prosecco Extra Dry with shrimp, filet of sole, chicken salad, mild cheeses and light desserts. Toast a special occasion or mix it with peach liqueur for the perfect Bellini!
San Feletto Prosecco Brut just received the top gold medal awarded at the 2015 Champagne & Sparkling Wine World Championships! “Very fresh, luscious, sherbety-fresh fruit nose and palate. Exceptional intensity, but still elegant, focused and not in the slightest bit weighty. The best Gold in the tasting. Potentially a trophy winning wine.” Bravo!
