Produced from 100% Glera grapes harvested in September, Masottina 96 Brut is made using a gentle gravity-fed winemaking process. The grapes are fermented off their skins as a white wine at a controlled temperature of 15–18°C, helping retain the clean fruit aromas and freshness that define the style. The second fermentation takes place in pressure tanks on selected yeasts at approximately 13–14°C, developing the wine's fine effervescence.

Why We Love It:

•  Fresh and versatile: A lively expression of Prosecco with crisp citrus and orchard fruit.
•  Fine, persistent bubbles: A smooth, silky palate with a refreshing finish.  
•  An easy entertaining wine: Ideal for aperitivo, seafood, canapés and casual celebrations.

Tasting Notes: A fresh, lively Italian sparkling wine with a delicate straw-yellow colour and fine, persistent bubbles. The aromatic profile opens with crisp Golden Delicious apple, pink grapefruit and lime, followed by softer notes of pear, plum and fragrant wisteria blossom. On the palate, it is smooth and silky, with bright citrus freshness, juicy orchard fruit and a clean, refreshing character. The lively acidity and delicate effervescence bring balance and elegance, making this an approachable, versatile Brut Prosecco for aperitivo, casual entertaining and everyday celebrations.

Food Pairing: An excellent aperitivo wine, pairing naturally with fresh oysters, prawns, grilled calamari, sushi and lightly dressed seafood salads. Its crisp citrus character cuts through the richness of fried calamari, tempura and savoury canapés, while its fine bubbles complement burrata, fresh goat's cheese, bruschetta and a selection of Italian antipasti. It is equally enjoyable alongside light pasta dishes, grilled white fish or simply served well chilled as a refreshing opening to an evening.
