[message]Description
Founded in 1974 by the Moretti Polegato family, La Gioiosa (The Joyous) is named after the ancient name of the province where the wines are farmed and produced: Treviso, known in antiquity as a “joyous” region because of its lush farmland and widespread prosperity. Today, the winery produces a wide range of Proseccos, including classic Prosecco, low-calorie Prosecco, and organically farmed Prosecco. The winery is also a leader in the production of environmentally friendly wines, and it strives to limit its carbon footprint by using alternative energy sources, including hydroelectric power generated by the nearby Piave river. Whole grapes are put into the pneumatic press for soft pressing and the resulting must, after a first racking, is put into controlled-temperature tanks where it remains until it is used to produce the semi-sparkling wine. The must, with added yeast cultures selected by La Gioiosa, is put into vessels where fermentation takes place at a controlled temperature of 15-16°C to enhance all the harvest fragrances. Upon reaching the required alcohol and sugar content fermentation is stopped by refrigeration. After a short settling period the semi-sparkling wine is ready for bottling.
