Prosecco is on everyone's lips. Over the last 15 years, the wines from the then newly created DOC have become an international success. At that time, there was a significant change: the most important grape variety for the production of the wine was renamed Glera, while the region was henceforth called Prosecco DOC. The name Prosecco goes back to a small suburb of Trieste. Wine has long been produced there on small terraces overlooking the Adriatic Sea and it was there that I got to know one of the region's greatest characters.

Euro Parovel stumbled into the courtyard of his winery slightly late. This was no big deal, as I was well supplied with local snacks and sat on the terrace in the sun. He didn't try to woo me with a memorized sales pitch and had few words but a big grin for me. Instead, he poured out his wine and let me taste it. His Prosecco Visavi stood out from the dozens of Proseccos I had tasted in the days before. Precise, fresh, but still a little edgier and wilder. Quite the character … just like the winemaker.

This wine is clear and fresh, with subtle apple notes, a hint of yeast, and the aroma of lemon zest. On the palate, it is lively, with delicate acidity, great freshness, and a subtle hint of bitterness.
