oast – or say cin cin - to a tasty holiday season this year with La Gioiosa Prosecco. This famed family founded brand is guaranteed to add a bit of Italian inspired sparkle to your celebrations with each sustainable sip of their sparkling wine. Party like it’s pre-pandemic times, or at least
like the carnival in Venice, where this popular Italian wine is the unparalleled prosecco of choice. Even the most particular prosecco drinkers have been indulging in this Italian favorite since 1974, when the Moretti Polegato family founded the bubbly brand. Meaning “The Joyous”, La Gioiosa is derived from the
ancient name of the region where the wines are farmed and produced – one thing is for sure – your festivities are about to get a lot more jubilant. The winery, which produces a variety of popular Proseccos, including Prosecco Rosé, low-calorie Prosecco and even organically farmed Prosecco, wants to ensure that you not only enjoy their bottles, but that they also remain environmentally friendly. In addition to savoring each sparkling sip, you will be even more satisfied knowing that La Gioiosa takes sustainability seriously. They consistently remain committed to limiting their carbon footprint by utilizing alternative energy sources, such as hydroelectric power generated by the nearby Piave River. The passion of the Moretti Polegato family can be felt – and tasted – in each and every bottle. Featuring a fruity and flowery aroma with fine aromatic and citrine hints, La Gioiosa Prosecco Treviso DOC has a lively taste and pale straw color. Due to its versatility and rich heritage, this variety is especially beloved in Venice where it is most often used throughout the entire meal. Add a bit of the mouth watering aromas of acacia flowers and citrus when you stand under the mistletoe this holiday with the La Gioiosa Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG. This clean and fresh tasting prosecco, which pairs perfectly with seafood and also makes for a wonderful aperitif, is guaranteed to get any party started. These enticing wines are imported exclusively by Ethica Wines, which is known for specializing in Italian wines from regions throughout the country. They are also ethically driven as their name suggests. “These wines reflect the growing interest in Italian culture and wines in America,” says Flavio Geretto, the winery’s international export director. Add some style – and sparkle – to your next intimate dinner party or large celebration with La Gioiosa sparkling wines and turn your holiday season into a wondrous occasion.
