The Léntico Prosecco con Fondo IGT by Giacometti Luigi from Veneto (Italy) is a delightful sparkling natural wine, created through spontaneous fermentation with no added yeasts and minimal intervention.
Tasting profile:
Elegant with floral notes, complex minerality, and a light texture. A sparkling gem that pairs well with refined dishes.
Region and winery:
The Veneto region in Italy is a versatile wine area known for its rich tradition and diverse wine production. From the rolling hills of Valdobbiadene to the plains surrounding Verona, Veneto provides ideal conditions for both still and sparkling wines. The area benefits from a mild climate, influenced by the proximity of the Adriatic Sea and the Dolomites, creating a unique balance between freshness and complexity in its wines.
Giacometti Luigi is a small-scale, artisanal winery dedicated to crafting natural wines with respect for nature and local traditions. The estate follows a philosophy of minimal intervention, allowing the grapes to grow naturally and ferment spontaneously without additives. This results in wines that not only reflect the terroir but also tell an authentic story. Their sparkling wines, such as the Léntico Frizzante, are a perfect example of how simplicity and craftsmanship come together in an elegant glass.
