## Food pairing

The wine's crisp acidity and subtle sweetness make it a versatile companion for a range of dishes. Its effervescence cleanses the palate, particularly with richer or saltier foods, while its fruit notes can complement lighter fare.

## Wine making process

Da Luca Prosecco is produced using the Charmat method, where the secondary fermentation occurs in large stainless steel tanks to create its sparkle. This technique is chosen to preserve the fresh, fruity aromas and flavors of the Glera grape. The wine is made from grapes sourced from small growers in the Veneto region. As a Non-Vintage wine, it is blended for consistency and typically released for consumption shortly after production, without oak aging.
