Fernando Pensato - Prosecco - Extra Dry

Fernando Pensato is a renowned producer of Prosecco, a sparkling wine that originates from the Veneto region of Italy. The history of Prosecco dates back to the Roman era, where it was known as Puccino, a still wine made from the Glera grape. However, it was not until the 19th century that Prosecco became a sparkling wine, thanks to the introduction of the Charmat method of production.

Fernando Pensato is committed to producing high-quality Prosecco using traditional methods. The grapes are hand-picked and carefully selected to ensure only the best fruit is used. The wine is then fermented in stainless steel tanks using the Charmat method, which involves a secondary fermentation in the tank to create the bubbles. The result is a crisp, refreshing wine with a delicate aroma and a fine, persistent mousse.

Extra Dry is one of the most popular styles of Prosecco produced by Fernando Pensato. This style has a slightly higher residual sugar content than the Brut style, which gives it a touch of sweetness that balances the acidity and enhances the fruitiness of the wine. Extra Dry Prosecco is perfect as an aperitif or to accompany light dishes such as seafood, salads, and white meats.

Fernando Pensato Prosecco Extra Dry is a wine that embodies the essence of the Veneto region. It is a wine that is both elegant and approachable, with a lively character that is sure to delight any wine lover.
