ACE Distributing welcomed a rebranded Contessa Giulia Prosecco to its portfolio. Made by Cantine Giacomo Montresor, the import offers a fresh sparkling white from Veneto, Northern Italy, at 11% ABV. The winery was founded in 1892 by Giacomo Montresor, a descendant of the famous Count Claude de Montresor, trusted adviser to the Duke of Orleans in France in the 17th century. In the mid-1600s, a branch of his family’s dynasty moved to the Veneto region close to Lake Garda, an area well-known for the quality of its morainic soil. There, they found the perfect environment for continuing to grow their family’s main passion: winemaking. Contessa Giulia Prosecco is a light-bodied wine that is crisp and clear with fresh, pristine lemon and grapefruit with hints of almonds and subtle mineral flavors and delicate, floral aromas leading to an appealing soft mousse. Light straw yellow in hue with fresh, delicate and floral aromas leads to a smooth and effervescent texture.
