La Gioiosa Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG hails from one of the finest Prosecco-producing municipalities. It possesses an intensely fruity aroma with hints of ripe golden apple. Fresh, slightly sweet with an agreeable finish, this wine is ideally served alongside fish marinated with aromatic herbs and other herb-based first courses. This is all to show why Prosecco La Gioiosa intentionally engages in practices that honor and reflect the biodiversity of each estate: respect for nature and single-sourced vineyards ensure consistently high-quality, healthy, and uniquely flavored grapes that express the land like no other. The Prosecco region is dappled with wine estates like La Gioiosa, interspersed among a range of habitats that include humid lowland forests, sunny dry meadows, and a bevy of streams and ponds. It is this stable ecosystem and ideal climate conditions that produce the native thin-skinned green Glera and gives it a marked acidity, low-sugar content, and delicate notes that are ideal for producing Prosecco. But not all Glera are alike. The same grape from a variety of nearby vineyards boasts unique flavor profiles simply because of the biodiversity specific to each estate. Many producers of Prosecco blend Glera from all around the region, standardizing the taste and profile because it’s simply an easier approach to production. La Gioiosa, however, takes infinite care in their meticulous production, ensuring that each estate produces Prosecco made entirely with the Glera from that specific vineyard. This yields unique flavor profiles representative of the natural land on which the grapes were grown and harvested. Made from Pinot Noir and Pinot Blanc grapes, this takes its name from an ancient local saying, ‘marca gioiosa et amorosa’, meaning ‘march with joy and love’. A friendly, happy fizz designed for joyous occasions and for sharing with friends and relaxed foods. Pairing Recommendation

Notably, La Gioiosa owner Giancarlo Moretti Polegato was the first to propose a Prosecco rosé to the Prosecco DOC consortium, recognizing a gap in the market. La Gioiosa had been growing Pinot Noir for more than four decades. Because the Glera and Pinot Noir are co-fermented, as opposed to being blended after fermentation, Polegato was confident in the wine’s remarkable freshness, depth, and nuance, which pairs nicely with complex dishes and meat entrees. Delicate rose in color with hints of pomegranate, the wine is extremely fresh and aromatic with notes of rose and pomegranate on the nose. On the palate, it is full-bodied with a gorgeous balance between its fruit and floral notes. The estates commit to viticultural practices that have a low environmental impact that safeguards the unique biodiversity of the region—the wildlife, the terrain, and yes, the vines. Additionally, it’s the only way to permit the land exclusive to each estate to express itself in the most natural way. A Brief and Bubbly History of Prosecco
