Production of Asolo Brut No.3 - Prapian

The grapes for Asolo Brut No.3 - Prapian come from the sun-drenched hills around Asolo in Veneto. Here, mild temperatures, ample sunshine and cool nights come together. This combination encourages the Glera grapes to ripen slowly while preserving their lively freshness and aromatic clarity. Soils of marl, limestone and, in places, stony subsoil give the wine additional tension and precision.

The vineyards benefit from gentle slopes and good air circulation around the vines. This produces grapes with clean aromas and balanced ripeness. The harvest is carried out carefully and selectively, ensuring that only intact, aromatically convincing grapes reach the cellar. The Glera berries thus retain their characteristic delicate fruit profile, which is subsequently refined with style in the cellar.

After the harvest, gentle pressing takes place, producing clear, delicate must. The subsequent fermentation takes place at cool temperatures in stainless steel tanks. This cool fermentation preserves the fresh fruit aromas of pear, apple and citrus while preventing excessive weight. After the first fermentation, the wine rests on its fine lees for an extended period. This lees aging gives it a creamier texture, greater finesse and even finer bubbles.

The second fermentation for sparkling-wine production also takes place in a pressurized tank using the Charmat method. This is where the characteristic bubbles develop, giving the wine its playful and elegant character. Aging in stainless steel preserves the clear, modern style of the Prapian estate. No wood is used; the fruit of the Glera grape takes center stage.

The Prapian winery pursues a style that combines lightness and precision. The aim is to create a Prosecco Spumante that displays lively freshness, fruit and elegance without seeming opulent. Every stage of production serves the clean, straightforward expression of the grape variety and its origin. The finished Asolo Brut No.3 thus presents itself as a stylish ambassador for Venetian sparkling-wine culture.
