Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian

In the glass, the Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian shines in a pale straw yellow with silvery reflections, marked by a fine, persistent perlage. The delicate bubbles rise tirelessly, giving this Prosecco Spumante a distinctly elegant appearance. As soon as it is poured, a delicate aroma of acacia blossoms, freshly cut green apple and juicy citrus notes fills the air.

On the nose, it unfolds an aromatic interplay of floral nuances, a bouquet of white spring blossoms and a touch of ripe pear. A citrus-fresh undertone joins in, reminiscent of lime peel and grapefruit zest. On the palate, this sparkling wine is lively, clearly structured and precisely focused on its brut style. Its crisp texture combines with firm, invigorating acidity and finely measured fruit sweetness.

Here, the Glera grape reveals its vibrant side: juicy green apple, fresh citrus fruit, hints of white peach and subtle floral notes glide across the palate. The perlage feels creamy yet invigorating, while the finish remains citrus-fresh and distinctly mineral in character. On the palate, fruit, freshness and elegant dryness combine harmoniously, making this Prosecco Spumante a versatile accompaniment to food and a stylish aperitif.

Production of Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian

The Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian comes from carefully selected sites in Veneto, where gentle hills and a balanced climate create ideal conditions for the Glera grape variety. Warm days, cool nights and constant air movement allow the grapes to ripen slowly and fully develop their fresh aromas. The soils in this region consist mainly of limestone, with some stony substrates, lending the vines a fine mineral character.

The harvest is carried out selectively, with grapes from less suitable parcels left in the vineyard. Only ripe, aromatic Glera grapes reach the winery. Gentle pressing preserves the delicate floral and fruit notes. The must flows off under low pressure and remains free of coarse solids.

Fermentation then takes place in stainless steel tanks under controlled temperatures, keeping the primary aromas of Glera at the forefront. The second fermentation using the Charmat method also takes place in pressurised tanks. Precise control of temperature and timing produces the fine, creamy perlage that characterises this Prosecco Spumante. The dosage remains deliberately low, while the brut style focuses on freshness, clarity and precision.

The Prapian house style emphasises elegance and drinking pleasure. The winemaker follows a purist approach that reveals the character of Glera in an unadulterated form. Stainless steel tanks preserve freshness, while the absence of oak influence ensures that floral notes, crisp fruit and lively acidity remain unobstructed at the centre of the wine. Each bottle leaves the cellar only after a resting period, during which the perlage and aromas harmoniously come together.

Serving recommendations for Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian

This Prosecco Spumante reveals its elegant freshness most impressively when served at a temperature of 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. The fine perlage remains lively at this temperature, while the fruit and floral aromas appear clear and vibrant. A slender sparkling-wine glass is ideal, as it concentrates the perlage and directs the aromas towards the nose.

As an aperitif, this sparkling wine accompanies stylish receptions, summer moments on the terrace or festive occasions such as weddings and anniversaries. Paired with food, it demonstrates its versatility:

• Light, delicate starters such as fish or seafood carpaccio
• Fine antipasti with vegetables, olives and mild cheese
• Light yet hearty Mediterranean dishes
• Grilled or steamed fish with lemon and herbal notes
• Light pasta dishes with vegetables or seafood

With its fresh character, this Prosecco Spumante creates a buoyant atmosphere at social gatherings, brunches and after-work drinks. It is also an appealing accompaniment to finger food, canapés or delicate appetisers, with its clear, invigorating fruit and elegant dryness.

For short-term storage, a cool, dark room with a constant temperature is recommended. Bottles should be stored lying down so that the cork remains in contact with the wine and retains its elasticity. The Col de l'Utia Brut - Prapian reveals its character particularly attractively during the first few years after bottling, when freshness, aroma and perlage are at their finest.
