2022 Ca' Dei Zago Valdobbiadene Docg Prosecco colfondo

Notes

The Ca Dei Zago Valdobbiadene DOCG Prosecco Colfondo is not just a traditional-style Prosecco but also a trailblazer, being the only Prosecco to ever make it into the Top 100 Wines in the World. This remarkable achievement highlights its unique qualities and sets it apart in the world of sparkling wines. Produced in the heart of Valdobbiadene by the Zago family, who have been crafting wines here since 1924, it follows the Colfondo method, with natural secondary fermentation in the bottle and no disgorgement, leaving a fine sediment (fondo) at the bottom. This traditional technique offers a more rustic and authentic expression of Prosecco, embracing its roots and character. Made primarily from Glera grapes grown in organic vineyards on the steep hillsides of Valdobbiadene, it exhibits aromas of green apple, citrus zest, and white flowers, with a subtle yeasty complexity from the lees. On the palate, it is dry, refreshing, and features bright acidity and a hint of salty minerality, capturing the essence of the region's terroir. The Ca Dei Zago Colfondo is ideal for those seeking a distinctive sparkling wine experience, pairing beautifully with antipasti, seafood, or light cheeses. The natural sediment invites a gentle shake or swirl before serving to integrate the flavors, or it can be poured carefully for a clearer presentation.
