2019 Prosecco Treviso Sui Lieviti
Gregoletto

Prosecco has become a difficult minefield to navigate: it can come from a vast expanse of northeast Italy, including fertile plains better suited to grain than grape. The world’s colossal appetite for the stuff, alas, has resulted in millions and millions of bottles of often-sweet bubbly plonk being churned out annually. Buyer, beware!
In contrast, here is a bone-dry Prosecco from steep, lush terraced vineyards right where the towering Alps abruptly emerge from the Veneto’s gentle hillsides. This is serious terroir, folks, and it’s no coincidence the area has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage site.
Brilliantly exemplifying the historic col fondo style, the wine is slightly cloudy from being refermented in bottle without disgorgement or filtration. You may let the deposit settle out and pour carefully for a leaner, crisper experience, or gently invert the bottle to experience the sediment’s textural and aromatic properties. The late Luigi Gregoletto recommended splashing the fondo into risotto part way through cooking, and some have made arguments for its medicinal properties. This brisk, fizzy, stony nectar has an undeniable gift for bestowing unparalleled palate stimulation and mental reinvigoration.

About The Producer
Gregoletto
About The Region
Veneto
Italy’s most prolific wine region by volume, the Veneto is the source of some of the country’s most notorious plonk: you’ll find oceans of insipid Pinot Grigo, thin Bardolino, and, of course, the ubiquitous Prosecco. And yet, the Veneto produces the highest proportion of DOC wine of any Italian region: home to prestigious appellations like Valpolicella, Amarone, and Soave, it is capable of excelling in all three colors, with equally great potential in the bubbly and dessert departments.
With almost 200,000 acres planted, the Veneto has a wealth of terroirs split between the Po Valley and the foothills of the Alps. While the rich soils of the flatlands are conducive to mechanization, high yields, and mass production of bulk wine, the areas to the north offer a fresher climate and a diversity of poor soil types, ideal for food-friendly wines that show a sense of place. Whether it’s a charming Prosecco Superiore from the Glera grape, a stony Soave or Gambellara from Garganega, or a Corvina-based red in any style, the Veneto’s indigenous grape varieties show real character when worked via traditional production methods.
Since his first visit in 1979, Kermit has regularly returned to the Veneto to enjoy its richness of fine wines and local cuisine. Our collaboration with Corte Gardoni, our longest-running Italian import, is a testament to this. The proximity of beautiful cities like Verona and Venice, with their deep culinary heritage, certainly doesn’t hurt, either.

Let the brett nerds retire into protective bubbles, and whenever they thirst for wine it can be passed in to them through a sterile filter. Those of us on the outside can continue to enjoy complex, natural, living wines.
