Masottina, Veneto

Located in Prosecco’s Conegliano region of the Veneto lie the 60 hectares of Masottina’s vineyards. Owned by the Dal Bianco family since 1946, they switched from being a négociant to vineyard owner in the 1960s. They produce a classic expression of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco.

With fine, persistent bubbles, this is pale straw yellow with greenish highlights. The nose is intense, fruity with the rich scent of apple, lemon and grapefruit. It has a pronounced aroma of wisteria in bloom and acacia flowers. The palate has a pleasant acidity and fresh flavour. Full-bodied, and lingering, a soft finish rounds off this crowd-pleasing Prosecco.

Masottina focuses on producing drier Prosecco in the Brut style, believing that this allows for more food-friendly and elegant wines. They also believe in working as sustainably as possible, and this is the first certified organic Prosecco in our range. Delicate floral aromas mingle with fresh pear fruit on the nose. The palate has a wonderful volume of very fine bubbles, with sherbet lemon and pear fruit and a crystalline finish. Ready to drink now.

The pinnacle of Masottina’s production, Le Rive refers to the best vineyard in the town of Ogliano in the Valdobbiadene region of Prosecco. Here the soil is formed from remnants of an ancient glacial flow and is full of minerals. This is the very finest expression of Glera, the variety used in Prosecco: a bright, fresh and elegant wine with additional savoury notes from extended lees ageing. Fresh pear fruit, great concentration and very fine bubbles show really how good quality Prosecco can be. Ready to drink now.
