Speaking of tradition, this Prosecco DOC is undoubtedly one of the most interesting products offered by La Gioiosa. Tradizione e Territorio is made from Glera grapes, to which other varieties allowed by the regulations may be added in a percentage of less than 15%. As soon as they reach the winery, the whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press, and the must obtained is kept in steel tanks at a controlled temperature until the moment of sparkling. At that point, the must, with the addition of selected yeasts, is passed into temperature-controlled autoclaves where frothing takes place. Once the desired alcohol content and sugar content has been reached, the temperature of the tank is lowered to stop fermentation. At that point, after a short period of rest, the sparkling wine is ready for bottling. Pale straw yellow in colour, the perlage is fine and persistent. The nose is fruity and floral, with notes of ripe golden apples and small white flowers. On the palate, however, it is pleasantly dry, fresh and sapid, with a fruity and harmonious aftertaste.
