Prosecco Col Fondo, Ca’ dei Zago

Col Fondo is a sparkling wine made from the same grape as the regular run-of-the-mill prosecco: Glara. The only difference is that the second fermentation occurs in the same bottle (AKA Methode Champenoise). (Traditionally the second fermentation for Prosecco is in a tank [Charmant method]). This style of second fermentation is the oldschool way to make Prosecco. Ca’ dei Zago smells like opening a fresh pack of yellow warheads in the back of your mom’s minivan while driving home from school. Sour, in the most blatant way. Tart electric green apples. Energized lemonade you enjoy while rolling around in the sand of the softest beach ever. To immerse yourself in Ca’ dei Zago, Col Fondo is to experience the off-beat, rare side of Prosecco. It is a rustic, unsullied wine that shows the unique passion for heritage.
