The Wine
Named for the fresh breath of air that cools the vineyards, and using techniques originating in Champagne, our Il Soffio Prosecco is fermented for an enriched flavour profile. A slightly drier and more complex style of Prosecco, Ill Soffio features light lemon sherbet characters, underpinned by notes of fresh brioche and floral wisteria notes. Hand-picked and whole bunch pressed, this beautifully balanced, easy to drink style, is crafted for conviviality and making memories.

Winemaking
The grapes were hand harvested and whole bunch pressed. The juice was fermented in stainless steel at a cool temperature of fourteen degrees Celsius. Once dry the base wine had the lees stirred once a week for four months prior to bottling to give more texture and complexity to the back palate. To create the fizz the wine went through a second fermentation in pressurised tanks, known as the “charmat method”, this process took about four weeks, after which time the wine was bottled, ready to drink.
