(100% Glera)

Poggio Costa, the “hill by the sea” gets its fruit from the very north of Italy near the gulf of Trieste in the Adriatic sea. These vineyard sites are in the part of the Prosecco DOC located near the town also named Prosecco and made from 100% Glera, the grape that was formerly called Prosecco! It's all very straight forward. This part of Italy is the birthplace of Prosecco and the area of Slovenia that it borders is the birthplace of Glera. This particular Prosecco is organic and full of lively bubbles, fresh fruits (apple, melon, that sort of thing) and a touch of mineral. This is the perfect everyday wine to ride out the swampy weeks of August in Virginia and at this price, you can spritz it any which way you like.
