Grapes: 100% Glera
Body: Light

The Producer
La Forestina is an organic-focused estate situated in the rolling hills of Treviso within Italy's famed Veneto region. Dedicated to eco-friendly viticulture, the winery emphasizes sustainable soil management, biodiversity, and minimal chemical intervention in the vineyard. By focusing on traditional production methods alongside modern quality controls, La Forestina crafts clean, expressive, and easily enjoyable Proseccos that highlight the pure fruit character and vibrant freshness of the regional Glera grape.
The Wine
La Forestina Prosecco Extra Dry NV is a smooth, wonderfully inviting sparkling wine produced in the traditional Extra Dry style (which retains a soft touch of subtle sweetness compared to Brut). Made entirely from 100% Glera grapes grown in organic vineyards, the fruit is harvested at optimal freshness and gently pressed. Primary fermentation is followed by a secondary fermentation in pressurized stainless steel tanks (the Charmat/Martinotti method) to build delicate, creamy bubbles while preserving bright aromatic fruit notes. Round and refreshing, it masterfully pairs a fragrant nose of green apple, white peach, and acacia blossoms with a creamy mouthfeel, soft persistent effervescence, and a cleanly balanced, fruit-forward finish.

What is natural wine?
Natural wine is wine made with minimal intervention from the winemaker, using organically or biodynamically grown grapes and without the addition of chemicals or additives such as sulfites. The result is a wine that is unique, expressive, and often has a more complex and nuanced flavor profile than conventional wines. Natural wine is also often associated with sustainable and ethical farming practices, making it a popular choice for those interested in environmentally friendly and socially responsible products.
