Della Vite Prosecco Treviso DOC NV, Proseccon Italy, ABV 11.5%, 750ml
Della Vite Prosecco is the first joint venture between Chloe, Poppy and Cara Delevingne. As you can imagine, it's daring, it's dazzling, it's elegant and it's not afraid to let its hair down. The three Delevingne sisters noticed that many of their happiest, freest-feeling and most spontaneous moments - family get-togethers, long lunches with friends, fashion shows, festivals, parties and celebrations - all featured a glass of Prosecco in hand. Even their family name suggests that these three were born from the vine to create their own wine… So that's exactly what they did. Della Vite Prosecco Treviso DOC displays ripe apple, jasmine, lavender and a touch of peach on the nose. Beneath the creamy mousse, the palate perfectly mimics the aromatics, coupled with the addition of grape sorbet, juicy pear, toasted sourdough bread and rich tea biscuit notes. That subtle autolytic character - the bakery nuances normally associated with Champagne - and the fine bubbles occur because the wine receives an extended second fermentation period of around 60 days, which is much longer than most Prosecco, allowing it to take on some of that yeasty flavour and rich creaminess. Understanding that most of the finest Prosecco never leaves Italy, the Delevingne sisters travelled to the heart of the Valdobbiadene Valley, where they were introduced to the husband and wife team of Carlo and Adriana Biasiotto. Here in a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Biasiotto family have been creating exceptional sparkling wine for three generations. And they do so very sustainably. Their Foss Marai winery is powered by solar panels, their processes favour a slow hands-on approach over the rush of machinery, and their wines are not fined with animal products, making them vegan friendly. All of which made the wines a perfect fit for Chloe, Poppy and Cara's tastes, sensibilities and shared love of Italian culture. And as a finishing touch, the Prosecco is filled into a timelessly stylish label-free bottle, with a unique silhouette and'Della Vite'- meaning'from the vine'- written in Poppy Delevingne's own cursive script.£3.2 per 100.00ml
