"Exclusive" Prosecco Spumante Brut "Balbinot" DOC 2024 / Balbinot / Veneto

Container of 6 bottles

Sparkling wine from Italy

The “Exclusive” Prosecco Spumante Brut DOC Balbinot is a sparkling wine that captures the soul of Veneto’s storied Prosecco region. Its origins lie in the gentle hills of the Colli Trevigiani, nestled between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene - a landscape long regarded as the embodiment of Italian joie de vivre. For generations, the Balbinot family has cultivated these vineyards, producing Prosecco exclusively from their own grapes - a proud testament to authenticity and artisanal dedication.

At its heart is the Glera grape, once celebrated in antiquity as vinum Pucinum. Thriving in well-ventilated mid-slope sites with optimal sun exposure, it reveals its full potential. The soils - a mix of moraine-rich limestone, clay and sand – offer excellent drainage, enhance the wine’s mineral character and lend structure and poise.

Vinification is carried out with meticulous care. Following selective hand-harvesting, the grapes are gently pressed and fermented at low temperatures to preserve their primary aromas. The second fermentation takes place in pressurised tanks using the Charmat method, resulting in a particularly fine and consistent mousse. A brief period on the lees refines the profile before the wine is bottled under controlled conditions and matured further in glass.

In the glass, the “Exclusive” Prosecco reveals a straw-yellow hue with greenish highlights and a lively, persistent perlage. The bouquet is delicate and inviting, with notes of green apple, ripe pear and white blossom, lifted by fresh citrus and a subtle touch of brioche. On the palate, it is dry, fresh and well-balanced, with clear fruit, gentle minerality and a refined almond finish. The creamy yet invigorating mousse adds an extra layer of finesse.

Equally compelling as a stylish aperitif or a versatile companion at the table, this Prosecco pairs beautifully with antipasti, fish carpaccio, vitello tonnato and seafood, as well as lighter dishes such as vegetable pasta or citrus risotto. It also complements mild goat’s cheese and fruit-forward desserts like sorbets and lemon tart, always retaining its freshness and elegance. Best served well chilled at 7–9 °C.

Presented as a set of six 0.75-litre bottles, it offers the perfect opportunity to share – or savour repeatedly - this expression of Venetian joie de vivre. A Prosecco that unites terroir, tradition and craftsmanship, becoming a true ambassador of Italian elegance in the glass.

Grape variety

GLERA

Glera is a time-honoured, indigenous white grape variety whose roots run deep in the northern Italian region of Veneto. Cultivated there as early as the 18th century, it was long known under various names - Prosecco, Serprina, or Gleria – before officially adopting the name Glera in 2009. This renaming was intended to bring clarity and avoid confusion with the sparkling wine that shares its former name. Today, Glera is inseparably linked with the world-renowned Prosecco. It forms the backbone of this refreshing, gently sparkling wine, whose vibrant acidity and delicate fruit notes have come to embody the spirit of Italian joie de vivre. The small, greenish-yellow berries of the Glera vine are prized for their generous yields and their remarkable ability to retain freshness, even when harvested late. This contributes decisively to Prosecco’s signature style - light, fragrant, and irresistibly uplifting. Glera is distinguished by its subtle aromas of citrus, green apple, and white blossom, which flourish particularly well when the vines bask in ample sunlight. Its adaptability to diverse soils and climatic conditions has led to its cultivation not only across Veneto, but increasingly throughout Italy and beyond. In today’s wine world, Glera stands as a symbol not only of tradition, but of dynamism and global appeal - a shining example of how deep-rooted heritage can harmoniously meet international resonance.
