Nani Rizzi Prosecco Superiore Cru Millesimato Dry DOCG

This delicious Prosecco Superiore Cru Millesimato Dry DOCG is made from 85% Glera, 10% Bianchetta (also known as Arneis) and 5% Perera grapes. The Italian winery Nani Rizzi makes this Processo by combining traditional methods with new innovative techniques. The beautiful vineyards in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region are located at an altitude of 250-300 meters. The vinification of the grapes, after being harvested exclusively and very carefully by hand, is carried out with a light cold maceration to obtain a high-quality product. Nani Rizzi selects the best grapes of the year for this Prosecco.

The Prosecco Superiore Cru Millesimato Brut, with its beautiful pale straw-yellow color, has an intense and refined taste with beautiful fruity notes of ripe apple and yellow-fleshed peach with a wonderfully light floral aroma of acacia flowers and rose petals. All this makes this Prosecco extremely suitable as an aperitif and also delicious with appetizers with fish. This prosecco has a beautiful perlage with refined bubbles and is nicely mineral dry with only 8 g of residual sugar. In addition to the great content, the trim of this Prosecco Superiore Cru Millesimato Brut is a showpiece in itself.

Nani Rizzi winery

Nani Rizzi is a famous and authentic winery located in the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region and is internationally known for its excellent Prosecco wines that are made with great passion. Nanio Rizzi is one of the few wineries that can carry the Prosecco Superiore designation. You have Prosecco and Prosecco Superiore and that makes a world of difference. To be allowed to feed Prosecco Superiore DOCG strict rules must be met:

The grapes must come from the Conegliano Valdobbiadene region and here also the vinification must take place. The following municipalities fall within this region: Conegliano, San Vendemiano, Colle Umberto, Vittorio Veneto, Tarzo, Cison di Valmarino, San Pietro di Feletto, Refrontolo, Susegana, Pieve di Soligo, Farra di Soligo, Follina, Miane, Vidor and Valdobbiadene. The minimum amount of Glera (the official name of the prosecco grape) in the wine must be at least 85%. The maximum yield per hectare is 135 hectoliters per hectare. This is substantially higher with the regular Proseccos. The maximum amount of juice compared to the picked fruit is 70%. So a maximum of 70 liters of juice can be squeezed from 100 kilos of grapes. Bottling must take place in the province of Treviso.

Only bottles that are produced according to the mentioned rules may carry this label on the bottle, which is usually stuck to the back of the capsule. The label often also mentions 'DOCG' or is completely written out: Denominazione de Origine Controllata et Garantita. The term "Prosecco Superiore" and "Valdobbiadene" and "Conegliano" may also only be used with DOCG proseccos. Enough way to see if the prosecco you have before you meets the strict DOCG requirements!
