COLLI EUGANEI FIOR D’ARANCIO DOCG
Description
Fior d’Arancio is an easy-going sweet sparkling wine with a gold-flecked straw yellow colour. It is intensely aromatic and boasts an elegant perlage and white, creamy mousse. The predominant fragrance first revealed on the nose is the distinct aroma of Moscato, which is followed by notes of white-fleshed fruit such as peach, sage and citrus, with subtle nuances of herbs. On the palate, the sweetness and intriguing acidity are perfectly balanced, while the persistent typical aroma of Moscato Giallo is accompanied by an excellent minerality. The low alcohol content is an invitation to enjoy a second glass.
Vinification Process
After partial alcoholic fermentation, the wine is filtered and kept at low temperature to stop any further increase in alcohol content. This is followed by a second fermentation process in an autoclave at 16 to 20 °C for about thirty days, in accordance with the Charmat method.

Pairings
The ideal companion for desserts, but also excellent as an aperitif or for enjoying on its own. Perfectly matched with a wide variety of patisserie and baked desserts, especially if dry, such as fruit tarts, sweet focaccias, puff pastry, panettone and Colomba cake, but also great with crèmes and puddings. Also extremely appetising if paired with very mature cheeses or fruit skewers.
PROSECCO ROSÉ DOC
Description
Prosecco Rosé has a delicate yet intense pink hue and a persistent mousse. This wine has an elegant bouquet with floral and fruity notes reminiscent of small wild berries, namely redcurrant and raspberry, apple and dog rose, and a hint of bread crust. Refined and fresh on the palate, with an acidic note which, however, is not harsh. The fine, persistent perlage accentuates the lightness and freshness of the wine.
Vinification Process
After initial alcoholic fermentation, a second fermentation process takes place in an autoclave at 16 to 20 °C for about sixty days in accordance with the Charmat method.
