About the product
Gabbiano Prosecco DOC is a lively and refreshing Italian sparkling wine crafted from Glera grapes grown in the Prosecco DOC region. Known for its bright character and elegant bubbles, it delivers a classic expression of Prosecco with a crisp and approachable style.
In the glass, it displays a pale straw yellow color with fine, persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and aromatic, offering notes of green apple, pear, and citrus, complemented by delicate floral hints of white blossom.
On the palate, it is light-bodied and crisp, with vibrant acidity and flavors of fresh orchard fruit, lemon zest, and a touch of minerality. Its clean and refreshing profile makes it highly versatile and easy to enjoy.
The finish is bright and refreshing, with lingering notes of citrus and green apple.
Perfect as an aperitif, it also pairs beautifully with seafood, light pasta dishes, salads, and soft cheeses.

About the brand
Castello di Gabbiano is an iconic estate located in the heart of the Chianti Classico region in Tuscany, with a winemaking history dating back to the 11th century. While the estate is famous for its Tuscan reds, the Cavaliere d'Oro range (meaning "The Gold Knight") allows them to produce regional classics like Prosecco by sourcing high-quality grapes from the Veneto region. The brand balances medieval tradition with modern, accessible winemaking styles.
