Characteristics
Giol Semi-sparkling Prosecco Spago has always been better suited for simple, immediate consumption than the sparkling version. Pale straw yellow with greenish highlights, this wine has a fruity nose with pronounced notes of green apple and hints of peach, accompanied by floral notes of wisteria and acacia blossom. The nose is delicate and fruity.
Prosecco became the icon of the Italian aperitif thanks to the innovative production method invented by Federico Martinotti in 1895 (perfected by Charmat in 1907) and subsequently by the ingenuity of Venetian businessmen. The San Polo estate, now Giol, made a name for itself as early as 1895 by distributing Prosecco vines (Glera) throughout Europe in the ‘international vine’ category, demonstrating a far-sighted vision that anticipated the international success of Prosecco.
This farsighted vision contributed to the success that Prosecco would later achieve. We are proud to be not only one of the most historic producers in the world, but also one of the first to embrace the world of Prosecco.

Vinification
Mechanical harvest at optimum technological ripeness, crushing-destemming, pressing, cold settling and addition of cultured yeasts. Controlled cold fermentation at 14°C. Fermentation is followed by racking, light clarification to stabilise the proteins and subsequent filtration. Bottling is performed after second fermentation in steel pressure tanks (autoclaves), where the internal pressure increases for a month to around 2.5 atm until fermentation is complete. The wine is then clarified before final filtration.
