Cellar
Headed by brothers Paolo and Giorgio Polegato, Astoria Wines is one of the top representatives of the art of Prosecco. Founded in 1987 from the passion of a historic family of winegrowers, Astoria is now the first private winemaker of Conegliano-Valdobbiadene DOCG and its wines have been celebrated by the most important wine competitions. The Val del Brun Estate is the beating heart of Astoria: forty hectares of vineyards immersed in the scenic Prosecco Hills, a unique landscape recognised as a World Heritage Site by Unesco in 2019 that the winery also protects through its adherence to the Vignes fleuries protocol (2014) and SQNPI certification (Sistema di Qualità Nazionale Produzione Integrata, 2018).
Description
Velére Prosecco Extra Dry Rosé DOC from Astoria is an excellent rosé sparkling wine with a distinctive, pleasantly dense and balanced flavour. Velére is the new gem of the Venice Collection. From the union of Glera and Pinot Noir comes a new bubble with a delicate colour and strong character. A tribute to the craftswomen who dedicated their art to making sails for the galleys of the Serenissima Republic.

Vinification
Primary fermentation takes place in steel at 18°C with selected indigenous yeasts. The part of red grapes vinified separately and with short maceration, gives the wine that colour and typical timbre, so sought after by 'classic' sparkling wine makers, made up of a special aroma and full body. The new wine is kept on the 'noble lees' for a month, then filtered and decanted into the autoclaves for frothing. Secondary fermentation takes place at 18°C with selected yeasts and lasts
about 20/25 days.
