✨ Technical Specifications
Sourced from the sun-drenched hillsides of the Veneto region in northeastern Italy, Cooper's Hawk Prosecco celebrates the rich heritage of Italy's premier sparkling wine. The history of Prosecco is deeply intertwined with the ancient Roman grape 'Pucinum,' which evolved into the Glera grape we know today. Crafted using the traditional Charmat method in stainless steel autoclaves, this wine undergoes a secondary fermentation designed to preserve the pristine, aromatic fruit profile of the grapes. The terroir of the region—characterized by a mild microclimate and mineral-rich clay-limestone soils—imparts a signature crispness and delicate floral lift to the wine, resulting in a bright, effervescent profile filled with notes of fresh green apple, white peach, and honeysuckle.
🍾 About the Producer
Cooper's Hawk Winery & Restaurants was established in 2005 by entrepreneur Tim McEnery in Orland Park, Illinois, combining an upscale casual dining concept with an artisanal winery and tasting room. Rather than farming single-estate vineyards, the operation functions as a large-scale modern négociant and custom-crush producer, sourcing premium grapes and must primarily from leading American viticultural areas across California, Washington, and Oregon, as well as select international origins. Centralized vinification, blending, and barrel maturation take place at its dedicated Midwestern production facility under Vice President of Winemaking Rob Warren. The portfolio embraces an approachable, crowd-pleasing cellar philosophy focused on clean varietal expression, balanced oak integration, and food-friendly structures. Among its hallmark bottlings are California-sourced expressions such as Unoaked Chardonnay, Lux Chardonnay, Viognier, and the crisp, aromatic Riesling Gewürztraminer blend, alongside a diverse suite of methode-charmat sparkling and dessert offerings.
