About the producer

Indigenous is a producer based in the Veneto region, making Prosecco in the traditional style of the area.

About the year

Prosecco is best enjoyed young and fresh, within a year or two of release, when its bright acidity and delicate fruit are at their peak.

Grape characteristics

Glera is a white grape native to northeast Italy. It produces wines that are light, fruity and naturally lower in alcohol than many sparkling wines, with a gentle fizz rather than aggressive bubbles.

About the region

Veneto, in northeast Italy near Venice, has a mild climate and limestone-rich soil ideal for growing Glera. The region has made Prosecco for centuries and remains its heartland.

Tasting profile

Expect fresh green apple, white peach and floral notes. The wine is crisp and lively on the palate, with a touch of sweetness that balances the acidity, finishing clean and dry.

Serving suggestions

Serve well chilled, around 6 to 8 degrees Celsius. Pour into a flute or white wine glass to enjoy the bubbles. Drink as an aperitif or throughout a meal.

Also pairs well with

  • • oysters and shellfish
  • • light pasta dishes
  • • soft cheeses
