Prosecco DOCG, is produced from Glera grapes using a vinification process where there is no contact with the skins, it starts with a soft pressing of the grapes to create the "free-run" must, the best kind of must, which is then cleaned through a process of “decantation”.
After being left to ferment for approximately 15 days and having been skilfully racked several times, the wine takes on an elegant fragrance and a perfect organoleptic balance.
The winter period is key to the filtration and for obtaining a clear wine, keeping all the microbiological characteristics, the yeasts and the good bacteria intact. The wine stabilises and during the following spring the bottling process enables the yeasts, that are naturally present in the wine, to activate the natural and spontaneous second fermentation in the bottle, resulting in a perfectly harmonious, low acidity and extremely drinkable wine.

I bought a pair of the tulip stemmed glasses and a selection of beers as a gift for my nephew's 21st birthday and he loved it! The service was great and would definitely use them again!
My colleague loves, among others, Hazy Ales. As his farewell gift I decided to buy, online, a selection of beers from the Beer Library.
Online purchasing was a breeze with the ability to select products by style with current stock levels and quantity of purchase options in some cases.
I was emailed that the collection of my dozen or so beers was available after only a couple of hours. All were chilled when collected.
All in all a great experience for online purchase and collection
