The Winemaking

The winemaking process of Vie Sedean 80’s Prosecco is carefully managed to preserve the integrity and essence of the grapes. The grapes are loaded whole using a peristaltic pump, ensuring that the berries remain as intact as possible. During pressing, the cycle is set to minimize breakage, avoiding excessive extraction of polyphenols and focusing on recovering the ‘mosto fiore’. This must, considered the most noble, is rich in sugars, acids, and essential aromatic precursors. After a day in contact with the pulp, the must is clarified in the evening. Following alcoholic fermentation, the wine undergoes a series of rackings to remove coarse lees and keep the fine lees suspended. The temperature is gradually lowered to 8°C, maintaining the wine in this condition throughout the winter. In spring, the base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in tanks, is filtered to the desired residual sugar, cold stabilized, and finally bottled with a small addition of sulfites for preservation.

Tasting the wine of the winery

Vie Sedean 80’s Prosecco offers a captivating sensory experience. On the nose, floral and fruity notes are perceived, with hints of green apple and citrus, thanks to the rich presence of aromatic precursors in the ‘mosto fiore’. On the palate, the wine is fresh and lively, with well-balanced acidity and a light effervescence that enhances its drinkability. The taste persistence leaves a clean and delicate finish, inviting another sip.

Food Pairings

Pairings with Vie Sedean 80’s Prosecco are versatile, thanks to its freshness and lightness. It is perfect as an aperitif, paired with light appetizers like bruschetta with tomatoes and basil or a platter of fresh cheeses.
