Masottina is the historic brand of the Dal Bianco family, a reality born and grown in the hills of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. The company was founded in 1946 by grandfather Epifanio Dal Bianco, who laid the foundations to produce excellent wines. His eldest son Adriano (an oenologist who studied at the School of Viticulture and Oenology, in the Historical School of Conegliano) is at the helm of the company together with his sons who carry on the production with dedication and tenacity. The Dal Bianco family has almost three hundred hectares of vineyards, the majority extend over the hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene. Masottina produces a range of Prosecco and is committed to limiting their environmental footprint in the vineyards and winemaking. They currently farm 87 hectares of vines organically and others undergoing conversion.
Tasting Notes
Delicate and fresh on the nose revealing red berries and floral aromas. Mouthfilling and pleasantly textured bubbles, red fruit flavours, well balanced acidity and a crisp finish. Enjoy this as an aperitif with salty snacks, seafood pasta, crab, sushi or mild curries. For those with a sweet tooth, try it with a light and airy dessert like Pavlova topped with fresh fruit.
Method
A delicate sparkling wine made from selected grapes. The red berry grapes are red vinified after a brief maceration period of 24-36 hours at 8 -10°C. Prise de mousse takes place at low temperature in pressure tanks. The final RS is 9 g/l making this a brut category sparkling wine.
