Grape Variety: 100% Glera

Growing Region: Valdobbiadene, Italy

Chief Winemaker: Massimiliano Luison

TASTING NOTE:
The name '52' makes reference to the year in which Santa Margherita started making Prosecco and to the number of parcels of vineyards in the historic heartland of the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene D.O.C.G. production zone - from which the grapes come that are used to make this sparkling wine.

After tasting - the cuvee is put into unique horizontal designed pressurized stainless steel tanks where it ferments in contact with selected yeasts at a controlled cool temperature in order to preserve the fruit's natural fragrant aromatics and guarantee excellent expression of flavour characteristics. The fermentation is carefully monitored and once the desired conditions of pressure and residual sugar have been achieved, fermentation is arrested. The sparkling wine is then left to mature on its lees inside the pressurized tanks at 8-10C for a period of around 6 weeks, so that all its subtle nuances can integrate, and is then prepared for bottling.

As you pour this sparkling wine, a straw yellow with greenish reflections will fill your tulip-shaped glass. On the nose lifted floral aromas, along with pear, peach, sweet apple and acacia blossom and subtle hints of pineapple invite your senses. The palate is well-balanced, with restrained acidity and elegant ripe fruit flavours. Your palate will be evenly covered with a fine perlage and inviting taste sensations that linger nicely on the refreshing finish. Chill and serve at 8-10C. *(Limited)
