Afra: Prosecco DOC Rosé Extra Dry Millesimato

Afra Prosecco DOC Rosé Extra Dry Millesimato

Afra is a Prosecco DOC Rosé Extra Dry Millesimato created to celebrate to Afra De Rosso, mother of the seven Nardi siblings and wife of Tiziano Nardi, whose dedication and love contributed to the birth of Perlage. This wine is a tribute to the maternal heart that gave birth to an epic story of love and passion, the symbols of Perlage.
Afra's delicate balance of glera and pinot noir results in a Prosecco DOC Millesimato that embodies the essence of an extraordinary woman: wise, kind and loving. Every sip of this fine wine tells the story and soul of Afra, keeping her presence alive in the glass; a sensory experience that celebrates the elegance and refinement of a unique and unforgettable maternal bond.
The word 'Afra' has Arabic origins ( عفرا) and means 'whitish red’, a poetic reference to the nuances and colours of our Prosecco Rosé. Perfect to be enjoyed during an aperitif in good company.
