Pradio, Passaparola, Prosecco DOC, Spumante, DOC Friuli Grave, Italy, N/V

Producer Profile

Pradio is a 35-hectare family estate in Friuli Venezia Giulia, owned by the Cielo family, whose winegrowing heritage dates back to 1908 and is now in its fourth generation.

Located near Palmanova, the estate focuses on elegant, characterful wines shaped by Friuli’s Alps–Adriatic microclimate. With SQNPI sustainable production certification and the expertise of renowned winemaker Gianni Menotti, Pradio combines family heritage, distinctive terroir and contemporary winemaking.

Viticulture

Machine harvested to ensure the shortest possible time between harvest and pressing in order to preserve the delicate aromatics of the Prosecco grape.

Winemaking

Fermented in temperature controlled, stainless steel tanks. The Charmat method of fermentation is used in order to retain the CO2 naturally produced during fermentation and give the wine it's characteristic sparkle.

Tasting Note

This classic from the North of Italy is a delicious sparkler with aromatic pear flavours on the nose followed by a crisp palate of succulent apple and pear. Gently foamy, with a crisp and delicate finish.

Food matching

Drink on it's own, as an aperitif or in true venetian style, as a Bellini.
