Azienda Agricola Frassinelli - Prosecco di Treviso Frizzante

Founded by Aldo Frassinelli in 1966, Frassinelli is a family-owned estate producing both sparkling and still wines in the heart of the Piave Valley and the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Today, the estate is run by his daughter, Roberta, and son, Gianluca, who continue the family’s longstanding commitment to the land and to expressing the character of the local terroir. Located in Mareno di Piave, the estate encompasses 13 hectares of vineyards planted across several distinct sites, from the gravelly, clay-rich soils of the Piave plain to the limestone and marl-based soils of the Conegliano Valdobbiadene hills. The vineyards are farmed with the utmost care and respect for the plants, the earth and the terroir, with Frassinelli earning SQNPI certification for its sustainable approach to viticulture.

From their Glera vines, Frassinelli produces three expressions of Prosecco: Prosecco DOC, Prosecco DOC Treviso and Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. But sparkling wine represents only part of the estate’s production. Frassinelli also cultivates a diverse range of grapes for still wines, including the indigenous Raboso Piave and Manzoni Bianco, as well as Pinot Grigio, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. These are bottled under denominations including DOC Piave and DOC Venezia, showcasing the remarkable versatility of the estate’s vineyards and the family’s ability to translate the character of different varieties and sites into distinctive wines. These are fabulous wines that are supreme examples of the joy, elegance and sense of place that can emerge from well-farmed, conscientiously made wines of the Veneto.

Frassinelli's Prosecco Frizzante is crafted with 100% Glera grown in the Treviso DOC. The Frizzante pours a light straw color in the glass with a quick flourish of tiny bubbles. Uplifting aromas of stone fruits and acacia tantalize the senses. The palate is lively and vibrant, offering mouthwatering flavors of white peach and apricots spritzed with citrus. The delicate, ultra-fine mousse is balanced with an ebullient acidity that guides this wine to a fresh finish that is highlighted by a savory, mineral note. An excellent option to get any "party" started, though this summer sparkler with pair perfectly with any lighter fare: starters, salads, seafood... but don't forget the Frizzante for your next trip to the pool or beach!
