Prosecco Extra Dry DOC Bosco del Merlo

This Prosecco Millesimato DOC Extra Dry from Cantina Bosco del Merlo is made from pure Glera grapes from the historic production area,with a particularly suitable microclimate and soil rich in minerals and microelements. The grapes are hand-picked during the early hours of the day, during the second ten days of September: once brought to the cellar, the bunches are subjected to white winemaking, with soft pressing of the grapes, in such a way as to extract only the flowering must. After static decantation, fermentation follows at a controlled temperature of 14-16°C. Before the second fermentation, 10% of Glera must is added: the foam intake takes place in an autoclave, as is standard practice for prosecco, for 2 months.
