Lamborghini Extra Dry Prosecco DOC Treviso Silver

Lamborghini Extra Dry Prosecco DOC Treviso Silver is a sparkling wine made from Glera in the Treviso area of the Veneto. It is made by the tank method, which keeps the fruit fresh and the bubbles fine. As an Extra Dry, it has a gentle touch of sweetness. Expect straw colour, a fine fruity nose and a soft, velvety palate. Serve it as an aperitif or with Japanese tuna tartare, and have it delivered across Ontario.

The producer

Tenuta Lamborghini is the wine estate near Panicale in Umbria that the carmaker Ferruccio Lamborghini chose for his later years, now run by his daughter Patrizia. This Prosecco comes from the Treviso area and carries the estate's Raging Bull label.

The vineyards

Glera from Sylvoz-trained vines in the Treviso area, picked between 10 and 20 September. Yields are 15,000 kg of grapes per hectare.

How it's made

The grapes are gently pressed and fermented at controlled temperature with selected yeasts. The second fermentation takes 10 to 20 days in tank by the Martinotti-Charmat method, followed by 1 to 2 months of ageing. It finishes with 16.00 g/l residual sugar and 6.00 g/l total acidity.

How it tastes

Straw yellow with a fine, persistent bead. The nose is delicate, fruity and harmonious. The palate is soft and velvety.

How to serve it
