Friulian Prosecco DOC: characteristics and pairings
The meticulous processing of Glera grapes defines Il Concerto, delivering an intense and diverse flavor profile that gently unfolds on the palate with notes of unripe apple and white peach, complemented by a subtle hint of bitterness.
Its exceptional quality is achieved through rigorous vinification processes and a careful sparkling method. The base wine undergoes secondary fermentation in an autoclave for approximately 30 days at a constant temperature of 14°C to 16°C. The result is an exquisite organic Prosecco, distinguished by its intricate fragrance, which ranges from fresh citrus and golden apple to delicate wildflower honey.
Friulian Prosecco DOC is the perfect companion to traditional seafood and shellfish dishes, while also beautifully complementing bold and distinctive ethnic cuisines. Ideal as an aperitif paired with San Daniele prosciutto or as a simple indulgence for pure enjoyment, a glass of San Simone’s Friulian Prosecco DOC is always a delightful choice.
