The Zago family has grown grapes and farmed land along the Piave River for over 150 years, but in 1973 decided to focus exclusively on grapes and making wine. The “little wagon” on the label evokes the traditional method of selling wine in the area.
This Prosecco is made from 90% Glera grapes and 10% Pinot Nero, with the Pinot Nero imparting a delicate blush. Elegant aroma and taste with notes of cherry, strawberry and apple. Balanced acidity and a dry persistent finish, with hints of acacia blossom.
