I am from: Prosecco DOC, Veneto, Northern Italy (Sourced from estate-tended vineyards in the sun-dappled foothills between the Venetian Alps and the Adriatic coast).

The Story: Named after zia—the Italian word for "aunt"—this charming sparkling wine honors the warm, welcoming spirit of Italian family hospitality and the cherished ritual of aperitivo hour. Grown across the gravelly, mineral-rich clay soils of Veneto's countryside, the Glera vines thrive under sunny days and cool, mountain-influenced nights. This daily temperature swing allows the fruit to develop aromatic intensity while preserving the crisp, mouthwatering acidity that defines authentic Prosecco.

In the cellar, winemakers prioritize bright varietal purity and delicate effervescence. The hand-harvested grapes undergo gentle pneumatic pressing, followed by a cool primary fermentation in stainless steel vats. To create its signature lively sparkle, the wine undergoes a natural secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks via the classic Martinotti-Charmat method. Bottled fresh without oak contact, it captures all the buoyant orchard-fruit energy and floral perfume of the Veneto countryside.

Why You'll Love Me: It is an irresistibly bright, airy, and refreshing Prosecco that greets the palate with a silky stream of fine, persistent bubbles and crisp citrus radiance. In the glass, it shines a pale straw-yellow with shimmering greenish highlights and a creamy mousse. The nose is delicately perfume-driven, wafting out with an aromatic bouquet of crisp green apple, Williams pear, and citron zest, seamlessly layered over top notes of blooming acacia flowers, honeysuckle, and fresh sea mist. On the palate, it glides with a weightless, lively stride; a juicy core of stone fruit and lemon flesh is lifted by playful effervescence and a bright beam of acidity. Clean, dry, and endlessly drinkable, it glides into a crisp finish marked by a trailing touch of citrus zest and a persistent, stone-dust mineral snap.
