After an initial racking, the must is stored in temperature-controlled tanks until needed. Secondary fermentation occurs in stainless steel vessels at controlled temperatures of 15-16°C to enhance the wine’s aromatic qualities. Once the desired alcohol and sugar levels are achieved, fermentation is halted by refrigeration. Following a brief settling period, the sparkling wine is bottled, ensuring freshness and the preservation of its delicate flavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p2\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p3\"\u003eIl Fresco Prosecco exhibits a pale straw yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles.
