Cavedon Col Fondo Prosecco 2022

Prosecco, but not as you know it! Old school way of making Prosecco (before the current method), 2nd ferment in bottle, no disgorgement, cloudy and crunchy...

Winery notes - Prosecco Col Fondo, which means ‘with its lees/sediment’, is one of our handmade originals and a bit of a cavedon wines classic! It’s a cloudy style prosecco and up there with one of our favourite ways of drinking the variety. It offers up more character & depth than the modern classic prosecco, but is still light, fun & easy drinking.

Think dry, cloudy, sourdough & lemon curd.

Grown by us and made by Gabe using the traditional champagne method, col fondo is fermented in the bottle itself. It’s aged on its lees for 18 months before release, giving it that classic sourdough-like aroma you get from slowly made sparkling. Although it has complexity with age, it has loads of vibrancy & freshness with delicate aromatics. Part of the magic in the slow process, is the fine bubble it produces, along with a great balance between natural acidity and a creamy palate. The dry, savoury edge also makes it a standout for food pairing.
