Product Information

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. GHI TIP: Prosecco is best served chilled (between 6-8C), and is best consumed immediately to enjoy the vibrant bubbles. 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. La Gioiosa Prosecco Rosé Millesimato DOC is produced in alluvial soils rich in marl (sediment consisting of clay and lime) from the Veneto Valdobbiadene region. The addition of Pinot Noir yields a delicate shell pink color and an aroma of balanced fresh rose and pomegranate notes, pairing well with finger foods and first-course Mediterranean dishes.

Prosecco must contain a minimum of 85 per cent glera grapes, while Champagne uses different grapes and can only be labelled as such if it comes from the Champagne region in France.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.
