The recent history of prosecco is strongly linked to a territory: Valdobbiadene and Conegliano (whose fame outshines the other nearby DOCG, Montello e Colli Asolani). Matter of numbers and good marketing that was able to give a worldwide significance to Italy in the market of sparkling wines.The audience certainly ignore around 1750 vine away already identified under the name Prosecco was known in England, but not in the area that today is considered more suitable, historic, Valdobbiadene and the province of Treviso, but Monteberico on the Colli Berici (Berici Hills), just a few miles from the city of Vicenza. More recently, at the beginning of 2000, a family and a company of Alonte, Pria Trevisan family, decided to commit to reaffirm the historic roots of Prosecco production in these lands, and from 2009 the Berici are recognized, along with the province of Vicenza, in the specification of Prosecco Doc. It is not my intention to make here a historical treatise on the origins of the Prosecco wine and grapes Glera (the name of which is riappropriato today the grape, just not to be confused with the name of DOC) because there are other arguments to present to those unfamiliar with this land, Alonte and the Colli Berici (Berici Hills), and this product, the "Before" Prosecco Docto entice them to meet me to find out. Personally I'm not a big fan of wine "narrated", so much so that I try in my small to promote the direct experience of the product, possibly known in his homeland. I will not therefore sensory descriptions, but I'm going from a simple piece of testimony. I tried the Prosecco Brut of The company Before on several occasions and more recently directly at the company, host of dear Madam, and I found it an excellent product, as an expression of the Colli Berici (Berici Hills) and the specific terroir, and the identity that the manufacturer wants to find in the glass. The temptation to compare the first "drink" of this sparkling wine with so many times that we tasted (or simply drunk) a Conegliano Valdobbiadene is natural, but should not be supported, because even though we are in the presence of the same vine and sparkling technique (Charmat method), it is an "other" wine. Here are the flavours and freshness to be enhanced, while certainly present, but the minerality and the greatest flavor to emerge as elements that determine the character of this intriguing spumante. Tasting the last-born, the brut 0.5 (the driest among the sparkling wines produced by the winery 3), we can only imagine how cool "bubble" to accompany a meal on a hot and sunny summer day, whether you choose to dine with seafood, whether it prefers, for example, a basket of sliced meats and cheeses produced in the province of Vicenza. The company chose to focus on a quality product and this is perceived only in the glass, but also in packaging. However, this is a quality made of informed choice and, as having decided to convert the company to organic cultivation and have sought and obtained certification Biodiversity Friend from Valoritalia, to highlight its commitment to protecting biodiversity and improving the quality of the environment. In addition to the Prosecco Doc the company produces two still wines, a white and a red grape fruit among the most entrenched in this territory (in addition to Tai rosso) such as Chardonnay and Garganega, Vespiere Bianco IGT, and the Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot for the Red Bugamante del Veneto. In both the wines we find the company's philosophy to find products that express well the character of the territory, but that they do not fall back into the "already seen" (or rather in already drunk!): the Vespiere is produced with a percentage of grapes left to dry until November (30%), with maturation in casks for three months, to get more complex. In red the goal instead seems to not follow the trend of these areas to get full coloured red from alcohol often exceeding 14° and suitable only for very important meat dishes, to get a good wine to drink you can dare even with some fish dish. In conclusion it is worth mentioning that if you decide to visit the winery (on weekends the owners are typically always available after phone call to alert the visit), in addition to taste excellent wines, discover other precious details and testimonials, the territory and the estate, and family traditions, which cultivates grapevines for generations. Every year you can meet l ' company even Before the feast held in Avoca on the occasion of the national demonstration Calici di Stelle, 10 August, along with many other wineries belonging to the Consorzio Colli Berici DOC wines and Vicenza.
