Product Information

The 2022 competition was judged on 26 April at 28-50 Chelsea, employing experienced judges.

Not only do these provide an appealing alternative for those preferring a drink without a hint of sweetness, but also, a lower-calorie apéritif – should that be desirable.in 2009, Renzo's son, Giovanni, took over management of the winery. He now wanted to complete what his father and uncle started - a full conversion to organic viticulture. That means no more synthetic pesticides and complete certification of the vineyard. in 2010, the project started, which was to take four years. in 2014, Corvezzo's first organic wine finally landed on the shelves. in 2017, the conversion of all vineyards to organic farming was completed, and Corvezzo's Prosecchi were among the first organic representatives of their kind on the market. in 2020, they also began the first experiments with biodynamic farming.

Then there was further variation with source area, with, in particular, the Proseccos from all the DOCGs proving especially fine. Among these, it was the samples from the smaller area of Asolo that stood out for their powerful aromatics and ripe yellow fruit flavours, compensating for the fact that these wines tend to be a bit drier than their equivalents from Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. And while these rosatos had plenty of ripe berry flavours, these weren’t too sweet, ensuring they were pretty, fruity, and refreshing. Fiol and Della Vite proved particularly fine examples, making a pleasing end to the UK’s largest professional tasting of Prosecco. WineryThe nose is dominated by apple and pear aromas, but also offers some floral and lime scents. The palate delivers the flavors of ripe Asian pear and yellow delicious apples without the sweetness of those fruits, because this Prosecco is perfectly dry. There’s also a touch of lemon and salty minerals on the mid-palate and into the finish. It has a bright acidity, adding freshness to the flavors. The mouthfeel is nice, with a slight creaminess and a nice density to the bubbles. The rolling hills of the Prosecco region provide an ideal foundation, allowing the vines to make the most of long days of sunshine. The best regions are found around the municipalities of Valdobbiadene and Conegliano, as well as around the town of Asolo. Wines from these growing regions, which are vinified according to the guidelines of Prosecco production, are allowed to bear the label "Prosecco Superiore".

Finally, we had a raft of rosés, as we assessed the quality of producers now making pink Prosecco, since the authorisation to do so in the DOC came in late 2020. These proved to be a delicious addition to the category, with the cherry fruit from the Pinot Noir red wine used to give these Proseccos their colour – usually a pale salmon pink – adding a complementary characteristic to the base wines made with the Glera grape. Organic, vegan and bargain-priced?!? That get’s my attention. But is it good? Yes, it’s delicious! Tasting NotesMore and more wines today are being made with organic grapes, and that’s a good thing.
