## Summary

The semi-sparkling (vivace) version of Terre del Prete, made from the same Cortese fruit and sold as a separate style alongside the still wine.

## Tasting notes

Pale, bright straw yellow with greenish highlights. Floral and fruity aromas of acacia blossom, hawthorn and white peach. Fresh, pleasantly dry palate with good persistence and a light natural sparkle. The estate recommends a medium-sized glass.

## Food pairings

An aperitif wine, also good with fish starters, focaccia and farinata.
