Villa Marcello Prosecco DOC 75cl

Producer Information

Established in 1435, the Mazzei family is one of Tuscany’s oldest wine dynasties and they have been cultivating vineyards and crafting fine wine for over 600 years in Fonterutoli in the heart of Chianti Classico. Giovanni Mazzei, representing the 25th generation, initiated a renaissance at his maternal grandmother’s estate in Veneto with Villa Marcello.

Dating to the 17th century, the Marcello de Majno estate is in the Prosecco Treviso DOC adjacent to the esteemed Conegliano area. Abundant light, Adriatic winds and the Venetian pre-Alps provide the terroir to fully express the Glera grape. A touch of Pinot Bianco adds depth and elegance. All the wines are sourced from estate grapes, which means that quality is ensured from grape to glass. Villa Marcello’s Brut Millesimato is a vintage-dated, low dosage, estate-grown prosecco with complexity, structure, elegance and freshness.

Vineyards

The vineyards are situated at 25 metres above sea level where the soil is silty clay for structured, yet elegant wines. The vines, planted in 2010, are carefully selected clones planted at a density of up to 5,000 vines per hectare. As with the other Mazzei estates, Villa Marcello is managed with minimal intervention and the utmost environmental responsibility.

Winemaking

Fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 14° C. The juice then spends a minimum of four months ageing on its lees in stainless steel tanks. A secondary fermentation then takes place in large,closed, pressurised tanks over 60 days using selected yeasts (Charmat method).

Tasting Note

An enticing blend of William pear, lime and flowers encourage another sip of this sophisticated and full-bodied wine.

Food Pairing

Pairs with most foods, particularly seafood, cured meats, savoury cheeses and salad.
