Yummy Prosecco
Ah prosecco. Be it spumante or frizzante, its just so lovely and drinkable. Its delicious and refreshing and works superbly as an aperitif or with food. Chill it and drink it fresh (best within 2 years of bottling) and you will find yourself coming back for more.
Prosecco is also the name of the grape variety from which the sparkling wine is made. Its made in the Veneto region of Italy in the hills north of Treviso. It is also grown in the Valdobbiadene and Conegliano wine regions, north of Venice.
The way its made is different from Champagne. Prosecco is made using the Charmat method. What ? Well its where the secondary fermentation takes place in a stainless steel tank as opposed to in the bottle itself. This reduces the production costs resulting in prosecco being less expensive to purchase.
Prosecco comes in a variety of styles from dry to off dry, full sparkling (Spumante) and semi sparkling (Frizzante). Its style is typically light, crisp and bubbly.

Venegazzu
In 1906 the family Manin started to plant its first Prosecco vines in a sunny valley of the Montello’s hills and founded the AZIENDA AGRICOLA “CASA BIANCA”. The estate takes its name from the wonderful white house situated in the highest hill of the property, an amazing place that overlooks all the vineyards. Looking southwards, it is possible to admire Venice which is only 40 Km far from these vineyards. The great tradition of CASA BIANCA’s sparkling wine takes its origin in this marvellous area. It is a light and delicate sparkling wine and its marked personality is connected with the peculiarity of the Colli Trevigiani’s soil where the AZIENDA AGRICOLA “CASA BIANCA” owns more than 30 hectares.

Was never really a fan of prosecco, mainly because I felt the frizzante versions to be very bland. But I’m slowly coming around and finding bottles, usually spumante, which impress.
