Ponte Prosecco DOC Extra Dry

For over 70 years, Ponte winery has been a beacon of excellence, uniting the best winemakers in the Veneto region. Born in 1948 from the tenacious will and ambition of a small group of winemakers navigating the challenging post-war and reconstruction years, Ponte has evolved into a powerhouse encompassing 1,000 families of winemakers covering 3,000 hectares of land distributed throughout the Veneto. Today, Ponte stands as a pivotal reference point in all its operational contexts, emphasizing not only production prowess but also its impact on social, environmental, and territorial aspects. Placing people at the core of its ethos, Ponte operates as a unified family, with each member's unwavering commitment being crucial to delivering high-quality wines and disseminating the values of Ponte and the Veneto region worldwide. Spanning over 3,000 hectares, Ponte's vineyards traverse a historic territory from the slopes of Montello to the course of the Piave, echoing the captivating heritage of the Serenissima Republic of Venice. Nestled between the Adriatic Coast and the heights of the Pre-Alps in the Conegliano area, the lush vineyards thrive in the tenacious clays and light sands of the Piave, benefiting from an ideal climate for vine cultivation characterized by optimal temperature variations and the right amount of rainfall. The vine composition predominantly features white grapes, with DOC Prosecco (Glera base) and DOC Pinot Grigio delle Venezie taking the spotlight, followed by Chardonnay, Manzoni, Merlot, Cabernet, and the native variety of the Piave area, Raboso. From its inception, Ponte has upheld the social value it represents in promoting cultural, recreational and sporting activities, a commitment that continues to shape its support for local and national initiatives. With a steadfast eye on international markets, Ponte is confident that its founding ideals of ethics, respect, passion and commitment will pave the way for future successes. Ensuring the high quality of its wines, Ponte has obtained prestigious certifications such as FSSC 22000, guaranteeing the quality and safety standards of its entire production and bottling process, as well as organic production labels certified by the Soil and Health Control and Certification Body, and BRC (British Retail Consortium) and IFS (International Food Standard) certifications. Ponte's winemaking operations are conducted using cutting-edge technologies aimed at transforming grapes into exquisite wines that preserve their integrity, aromas and typicality, reflecting the unwavering dedication to crafting exceptional wines that honour the land and its heritage.

The Ponte Prosecco DOC Extra Dry, crafted from Glera grapes sourced from the Veneto Region and Friuli Venezia Giulia, presents a brilliant straw yellow colour with a fine and persistent perlage. Its fresh and intriguing bouquet delicately combines fruity notes with herbaceous hints of white wisteria and sugary aromas of royal apple and yellow kiwi. On the palate, it offers a lively and light experience with a soft and elegant flavour, harmoniously balancing freshness and aroma, culminating in a fragrant aftertaste of grassy subsoil. The wine's winemaking process involves cold-pressed grapes and musts fermented at controlled temperatures, followed by 30 days of refinement in an autoclave with rest on the yeasts, showcasing the quality and expertise synonymous with Ponte winery.
