Body: Light-bodied

Pairing: Aperitif, seafood, shellfish, fresh salads, light appetizers, cured meats.
Additional Info:
A Fondo from Le Vigne di Alice is an artisanal Prosecco produced in the traditional “col fondo” style, meaning secondary fermentation finishes in the bottle and the wine is left with its natural lees sediment (“fondo”) rather than disgorged. This bottle-fermented approach gives a more textured, slightly rustic sparkle with lively acidity and deeper aromatic layers compared to most Charmat-made Proseccos, while still staying dry and food-friendly. Le Vigne di Alice is a grower-producer in Veneto that practices organic and low-intervention viticulture, focusing on producing expressive, bone-dry sparkling wines that reflect the base of the Dolomites terroir.

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.
