Sparkling Wines Prosecco Covalli

Covalli Prosecco DOC Brut from the Veneto region of Italy is a non-vintage sparkling white wine crafted predominantly from the Glera grape. The Prosecco DOC designation ensures that the grapes are sourced from carefully selected vineyards within the delineated area, passing rigorous standards of quality. The winemaking follows the Charmat or tank method, where secondary fermentation takes place in large pressurised tanks to capture fresh, aromatic bubbles. Being a Brut style, this Prosecco is vibrant, crisp, and elegantly dry, retaining a lively acidity with notes of green apple, white peach, and hints of acacia flowers, culminating in a refreshing, clean finish.

The Veneto region, located in north-eastern Italy, is renowned for its rolling hills, moderate continental climate, and a rich tradition of sparkling wine production, especially in the areas around Treviso and Conegliano-Valdobbiadene. The mild climate, with cool Alpine influences to the north and the temperate breezes from the Adriatic Sea, favours the slow ripening of the Glera grape, lending Prosecco its characteristic aromatic profile and balance. Sandy and clay-limestone soils provide excellent drainage while imparting subtle minerality and freshness to the wine. Historically, Prosecco has been cherished both locally and internationally for its convivial style and versatility, accompanying celebrations and casual gatherings alike.

For food pairing, Covalli Prosecco DOC Brut’s lively effervescence and delicate fruit character make it an excellent aperitif. It partners beautifully with light starters such as Prosciutto di San Daniele or a caprese salad, as well as seafood—think oysters, shrimp cocktail, or marinated anchovies. Its crispness also matches well with lightly fried vegetables and classic Venetian cicchetti, the small tapas-style bites found throughout the region. As a refreshing counterpoint, you might also enjoy it with sushi, tempura, or fresh goat cheese.

To fully appreciate its bright aromas and fine bubbles, serve this Prosecco well-chilled, ideally at a temperature of 6-8°C. Use a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to direct the delicate bouquet towards the nose and savour each sip at its lively best.
