Bisol Desiderio Crede Brut Prosecco Sup DOCG, 750ml, Italy
The Wine
"Crede" is the local dialect term for the clay-laden soil that characterizes the vineyards in the municipality of Valdobbiadene where the grapes used to produce this Prosecco Superiore are chosen.
The Terroir
These ancient slopes were once covered by the sea and later formed by the slow movement of the land arching up and inclining the strata vertically. This ground allows the water to be stored close to the roots of the vines avoiding the effects of drought. In this way the grapes become enriched with the noble acids that emanate the elegant and delicate floral notes.
Tasting notes
Brilliant, straw yellow color, with green highlights. The perlage is fine and persistent.
A fresh and elegant aroma from which the fragance of wildflowers comes to the forefront alongside delicate nuances of apples and pears.
The harmony of the bouquet is fully realized by the taste, a savory, rich, fine and versatile sip.

Service Temperature:
Prosecco Superiore is best enjoyed at a temperature between 6 and 8 degress celsius (42 to 47 F). One way to achive this is place the bottle in a bucket filled half way with water and ice. As the wine gently warms the glass, it "opens up" to reveal its aromatic qualities.
