Zardetto Prosecco Long Char NL

Zardetto Prosecco Long Char NL hails from the storied hills of Conegliano Valdobbiadene, a renowned DOCG region in northeastern Italy where Glera grapes thrive under the influence of dramatic temperature variations. Made with 85% Glera and 15% other authorized varietals, this Prosecco undergoes an extended Charmat method aging on natural yeasts, which adds unexpected depth and softness. Its color is a radiant straw yellow with golden and green reflections, suggesting the richness of the region’s terroir.

On the nose, it bursts with floral freshness layered with citrus zest and a subtle mineral edge. The palate is dry yet rounded, unfolding with graceful bubbles and vibrant notes of white flowers, apricot, and citrus, anchored by a pronounced minerality. A delicate note of bread crust adds a savory touch, a nod to its long yeast contact. The structure is elegant and creamy, with excellent balance and a persistent finish that makes each sip a discovery.

With an alcohol content of 11.5%, Zardetto Long Char is a versatile sparkling wine ideal for aperitivo or pairing with raw seafood, shellfish, and light fish dishes. Its finesse also makes it an excellent companion for delicate white meats or celebratory toasts. Serve chilled to bring out its refined character and aromatic complexity.
