✨ 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.
