Albino Armani Prosecco DOC is a classic example of this Italian sparkling wine. We liked a few of Armani’s Pinot Grigio. So, we couldn’t resist when we saw Prosecco made by the family with 400-years of winemaking experience.
They are a well-known and respected producer of Northern Italy, and they make a few different Proseccos. While Albino Armani Prosecco DOC is their entry-level sparkling, it blows away those “drink-and-forget” cheap Proseccos you may see in supermarkets.
Albino Armani Prosecco DOC
In the bottle
Armani Prosecco DOC is made from a blend of grapes of the entire area designated to Glera (main grape varietal) and Prosecco production in Friuli Venezia Giulia.
The Grave Friulana is a particularly well-suited area for the cultivation of the Glera. The stony and loose soil, the day-night temperature swings, and constant breezes help grapes express their unique characteristics and result in elegant wines.
Producers are allowed to use a small portion of other grapes than Glera. Still, the best producers like Albino Armani use 100% Glera.
The ready cuveè undergoes a long second fermentation in pressurized tanks (Charmat method) to obtain the aromas, flavors, and textures the Prosecco is famous for.
In the Glass
Albino Armani Prosecco is an easy-drinking and aromatic, yet it’s more than an off-dry sparkling.
It’s a fruity and fresh bouquet of apple blossom, lemon zest, and peach, enriched with mineral notes.
It has a delicate creamy mousse and flavors of stone fruit, ripe yellow apple, and almond touch. The tangy acidity gives the wine balance, texture, and depth.
