Founded by Aldo Frassinelli in 1966, Frassinelli is a family company producing Prosecco in the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Today, the estate is run by his daughter, Roberta, and son, Gianluca. Located in Mareno di Piave, the estate has 13 hectares of vineyards on limestone soils that are farmed with the utmost care and respect for the plants, the earth and the terroir. From their Glera vines, Frassinelli produces three appellations of Proseccos: Prosecco DOC, Prosecco DOC Treviso and Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. These are fabulous wines that are supreme examples of the joy, elegance and delight of well farmed, conscientiously made Prosecco.
The Prosecco Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG Brut Superiore is made from 100% Glera grown in San Pietro di Feletto. In the glass, the wine shows a light lemon color with a small, steady stream of tiny bubbles. The nose is wonderfully expressive with aromas of fresh pear, raw quince, persimmon and white flowers. As a Brut Prosecco, the wine is dry, with an energetic acidity that provides a long runway for all the ripe, fresh fruit flavors to flow across as they cascade into a refreshing, lip-smacking finish. An ideal aperitif, there is also enough concentration to enjoy with a Honeycrisp salad, light hors d’oeuvres or simple, elegant seafood dishes.
