Under Soviet rule, sweeter wines ruled, with bottling done on demand, not when wine was ready. Classic dry whites with freshness were rare. Now, Tsolikauri, Georgia’s main white grape, shines! In the UK, we can finally taste this indigenous grape variety. @GeorgianwineUK

We're even more in awe of the precision in crafting @ProseccoCV understanding the finesse that goes into winemaking. Our recent deep dive with Prof. Diego Tomasi & Andrea Miotto @PlumptonCollege showed why it’s #Proseccoelevated

It is the Martinotti method which enhances the Glera variety and not vice versa as for example the Champenoise method #ConeglianoValdobbiadene #Proseccosuperiore #Proseccoelevated @ProseccoCV @PlumptonCollege @sarahabbottmw

Impressive quality on show at the line up of Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG wines at the @GroupSwirl event. And the master class @SarahAbbottMW was an intense deep dive into understanding the region.

Many still don't know what good #Prosecco tastes like, UK market is dominated by a particular Prosecco.@ProseccoCV the essence or terroir offers effortless individuality with Rive denomination focussing on the spirit and soul of what good Prosecco should be #wine #winemaking

Glera grape variety has a very medium/low capacity of sugar accumulation. #ConeglianoValdobbiadene @ProseccoCV DOCG wines are from a very specific small area with only a few grape varieties permitted. #prosecco #masterclass #winetasting #grape #terroir
