This wine is essentially the “Principiante” from Santa Colomba which we’ve had, but rather than traditional method, it’s done in the Charmat method; secondary fermentation is begun in large tanks rather than in bottle. The result is slightly softer and a

Prosecco made in a natural style is pretty rare; the Fidora family was the first estate in the Veneto to be certified organic and are moving towards biodynamic certification. Their fruit is 100% estate farmed, rather than purchased. Lithe, bright, and fes

Pale sunshine yellow color and lightly sparkling, this Moscato d’Asti has intense aromas of peaches, rose petals and ginger. On the palate it is delicately sweet and sparkling with modest acidity, good balance, good complexity and a finish of fresh apric
