Traditional ‘col fondo’ Prosecco from Malibràn: bottle‑fermented on lees, unfiltered and gently frizzante. Dry and refreshing with apple, citrus, herbal and mineral notes.
Like the better-known Prosecco, Col Fondo is an Italian sparkler that must be made with a minimum 85% of native grape Glera. Rather than create bubbles in steel tanks, however, these more traditional versions undergo second fermentation in the bottle. They aren’t disgorged, either” these wines are bottled on their lees.
The yeasty residue leaves a fine sediment on the bottom, fondo in Italian, which imparts complexity and intense flavours, including Alpine herbs, apples, mineral tones and citrus notes. Col Fondo has less exuberant bubbles than its tank-fermented sibling, and, as such, is classified as frizzante.
This is the prosecco you want to drink. It is DANGEROUSLY drinkable!
