Prosecco Brut DOC: The Charmat method (also called the “Italian Method”) of producing sparkling wines is often used in the crafting of Prosecco. This method forces the second fermentation to happen in a large stainless steel tank prior to bottling, rather than in the bottle like the traditional méthode champenoise. The Charmat method is a cheaper means for pushing a wine through second fermentation and is best used on sparkling wines that are meant to be consumed young and relatively fresh.

The Winemaker: We are thrilled to introduce a selection from Francesco’s celebrated range of wines and Proseccos produced on his Collalbrigo Estate in Northern Italy. Located on the first hill outside of Conegliano in Italy’s Veneto region, the beautiful sloping landscape has been treasured by noble Venetian families for centuries and provides the perfect environment for a winery; so much so that Francesco’s Prosecco has been commended as one of the best in the country.

Sporting Connection: The Cosulich family has an impressive sporting pedigree. Francesco and his two sons have represented Italian rugby at top levels. As a family and wine company, they have also been official partners with the Italian Rugby team for the last 20 years and have contributed a huge amount to many worthwhile sporting causes. We first met Francesco Cosulich at the 2015 Rugby World Cup watching Italy play versus France, and besides his family’s rugby prowess he is a winemaker of great quality and with a wonderful history. He and his family are deeply committed to the wine industry and are valued partners of SWC.
