How to serve it
Tasting notes
Pale straw yellow with a fine, persistent bead. The nose is clean and direct, with green apple, pear skin, acacia flowers and a touch of bread crust. The palate is bone dry and vibrant, the absence of dosage leaving a crisp, saline, almost chalky mouthfeel. The finish is clean and appetising.
About this wine
Andreola is a family estate in Col San Martino, in the steep heart of the Valdobbiadene hills, where the Pola family has farmed Glera for three generations. The vineyards sit on the near-vertical slopes that earned the area its UNESCO listing, and the fruit is still picked entirely by hand.
26° Primo is the estate's zero-dosage Prosecco Superiore: the second fermentation runs in autoclave over a long, slow cycle, and the wine is bottled with no added sugar at all. What remains is pure Glera, a dry and taut sparkling wine that shows the variety with nothing to round its edges.
