Founded by Aldo Frassinelli in 1966, Frassinelli is a family company producing Prosecco in the hills of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene. Today, the estate is run by his daughter, Roberta, and son, Gianluca. Located in Mareno di Piave, the estate has 13 hectares of vineyards on limestone soils that are farmed with the utmost care and respect for the plants, the earth and the terroir. From their Glera vines, Frassinelli produces three appellations of Proseccos: Prosecco DOC, Prosecco DOC Treviso and Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG. These are fabulous wines that are supreme examples of the joy, elegance and delight of well farmed, conscientiously made Prosecco.

Frassinelli's Rive di Manzana is an extra-dry Prosecco from the Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Rive Superiore DOCG (the second highest quality level of Prosecco), made from 100% Glera. In the glass, the wine shows a light gold color with a steady stream of tiny bubbles. Expressive aromas of Honeycrisp apples, acacia flowers, wisteria and pineapple float effortlessly from the glass, enticing the senses. The palate shows a lovely balance of sugar and acidity, giving just the right amount of sweetness to the succulent fruit flavors while endowing them with lift and energy. This is a serious Prosecco, one that is delightful to drink on its own, though also balanced and refined enough to enjoy with a plate of assorted cheeses, hors d'oeuvres or even spicy Asian dishes.
