📜 Asolo Prosecco
Top-category sparkling Prosecco from the hills around Asolo in the province of Treviso.
Asolo Prosecco is a top-category sparkling Prosecco from the hills around the town of Asolo in the province of Treviso, in Veneto, Italy. The name is protected as a geographical indication of the European Union and is listed in the eAmbrosia register.
The wine is made from the Glera grape, like all Prosecco. It is white and sparkling, and its bubbles come from the second fermentation. Asolo lies at the foot of the mountains, the hills here are only gentle, and nights are cool. As a result the wine gets an aroma of flowers and pear and pleasant acidity. It is drunk as an aperitif or with light snacks.
Prosecco from Asolo stands next to another well-known name, Conegliano Valdobbiadene. Both belong to the top category of Prosecco but lie on different hills. Asolo is smaller and less known outside Italy.
Prosecco is made by the method with fermentation in a large tank, so it is fresh and fruity rather than bready like Champagne. As with any alcohol, it should be drunk in moderation.
