Interesting facts
Astoria, "Arzana" Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze is a white dry sparkling wine with a vibrant floral-fruity aroma and a rich, full-bodied taste. The grapes for this wine are grown in the privileged Cartizze area. The average age of the vines is 10-20 years. Harvesting is done by hand in September-October. After gentle pressing and static decantation, the must undergoes primary fermentation in steel tanks at 18-19 °C with selected yeast cultures. The young wine is then immediately transferred to an autoclave for secondary fermentation lasting 20-25 days. After a short (10 days) aging on the lees, the wine is bottled and matures for 4-6 weeks.
About the Manufacturer
The company A.C., producing wines under the "Astoria" brand, was founded in 1987 by brothers Paolo and Giorgio Polegato, sons of Vittorio Polegato, who half a century ago became the founder of the now very well-known winery "Antonini Ceresa" (A.C.). Astoria wines are mainly produced from grapes grown in their own estate "Val de Brun" in Refrontolo, right in the heart of the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene area. In a short time, the brand gained fame for its range and quality of wines, as well as the stylish design of its bottles. In addition to the famous Prosecco, a symbol of Veneto winemaking, the brothers produce sparkling wines from other grape varieties, as well as sweet wines. In 2015, the first certified organic Prosecco was introduced to the Astoria range.
