Conti d'Arco Prosecco

Wine Notes:
Region Hierarchy
Grape Variety 
Glera (Prosecco)






The excellent range of wines from Conti d'Arco contains a large number of wines produced in the most prestigious winemakers in Trentino by Gruppo Italiano Vini, the industry's leading companies in Italy, who supervises all stages of the process making from the vineyard to the final product. The name of Conti d'Arco comes from the noble family who owned the medieval castle that dominates, from the rock of Arc, the vineyards of the stunning valley located between Lake Garda and the Brenta Dolomites. The Prosecco is probably the most famous Italian sparkling wine. Comes from aromatic grapes originating Carso near Trieste (at the border with Slovenia there is a town called Prosecco) that some identify with the familiar Pucino of ancient Rome. For centuries it has been cultivated in Trevigiano especially around Valdobbiadene and Conegliano.

On the nose it reveals a bouquet of glacé fruits & sweet-smelling flowers. The taste is clean, gentle with natural residual sugar and an aromatic aftertaste.
