Typical characteristics:
“Spàli”, or “Twine” in Friulian, the original way of sealing the naturally fermented Sparkling Prosecco. A manual gesture, using string binding, that is reminiscent of the industriousness of the olden-day farmers of north-eastern Italy. By resuming this type of closure, Forchir wanted to honour the generations that showed their faith in Prosecco, thereby effectively contributing to the success of a product that has become the premier selling wine in the world. With Spàli, Forchir aims to uphold the traditions of Prosecco and its land. With its pale-yellow colour and delicate perlage, Spàli is a fresh, fruity sparkling wine, with a flavour hinting of green apple.
Serving suggestions:
Aperitif par excellence, but also a superb accompaniment for snacks and light appetizers.
Serving temperature:
Best served at 5-7°C, when uncorked and ready to be poured.
