Ca’ di Prata Prosecco

Ca’ di Prata Prosecco sparkling wines are produced with a strong committed to quality. By carefully managing their raw materials, their winemaking processes and through special attention to detail, they are able to share these quality products, exclusively made in Italy, with the entire world.

Prata is a community in the Province of Pordenone in the Italian region Friuli-Venezia Giulia, located about 100 kilometers northwest of Trieste. The Ca’ di Prata Prosecco Brut and Rosé wines are from the village of Prata, famous for the historic tower where people come together to enjoy a glass of Prosecco with family and friends. The Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore comes from Valdobbiadene, the most famous Prosecco region located near the village Prata di Pordenone.

Glera, the primary grape used in the production of Prosecco, is a green-skinned grape variety that has been grown for hundreds of years in the Veneto and Friuli regions of Italy and too is the basis for these three wonderful Prosecco sparkling wines.

The Ca’ di Prata DOC Brut ($15.99) is made from 85% Glera and 15% ‘other varieties.’ According to the winery, the ‘other varieties’ include Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay that gives this Brut “…a complex savory and mineral note which makes it more full-bodied.” This Brut Prosecco is bright and fresh with good acidity and the traditional green apple flavor associated with the Glera grape.

The Ca’ di Prata Extra Dry Prosecco Rosé ($16.99) is produced from 85% Glera and 15% Pinot Noir. It is fermented in stainless steel tanks to preserve its crisp flavors. At the end of fermentation, it is cooled to 0° C and left to rest for a month before being bottled. It is wonderfully light and refreshing with crisp flavors and refreshing acidity.

The Ca’ di Prata Valdobbiadene DOCG Extra Dry ($17.99) is so named for the grapes that come from vineyards in the province of Treviso in the historical area of the DOCG Conegliano Valdobbiadene. It is also produced from 85% Glera and 15% ‘other varieties.’ It has a golden-straw color with green hints. This too has flavors of golden apple along with a citrus hint and pleasant acidity.

All three of these Prosecco wines are delightful and great values. Look for them! Cheers!
