Ripe golden apple, pear and peach lead the way, joined by citrus and delicate elderflower and acacia notes. The palate is softly rounded and fruit-forward, with gentle sweetness balanced by enough acidity to keep everything lively and refreshing. Fine bubbles add lift and prevent the ripe orchard fruit from feeling heavy. Clean, floral and easy-going on the finish, this makes a convincing celebratory alternative when alcohol is off the menu.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCountry: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eItaly\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegion: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVeneto\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSub-Region: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eTreviso\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGrape(s): \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e100% Glera\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003e 0.0%\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFriendly: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cem\u003eVegan, Vegetarian, Sustainable\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAwards \u0026amp; Critics' Scores\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eFalstaff 2025 – 93\/100\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eIWSC Alternative Drinks 2024 – Bronze Medal\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Story\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003eLa Gioiosa approaches alcohol-free fizz rather differently from producers who first make a wine and then remove its alcohol. Whole Glera grapes are gently pressed, the freshly obtained must is clarified and held in temperature-controlled tanks without undergoing alcoholic fermentation, before carbon dioxide is carefully introduced to create its fine sparkle. The result keeps the naturally fruity personality associated with Glera – apple, peach, citrus and flowers – without needing a dealcoholisation stage. La Gioiosa itself is based in Treviso, at the heart of north-eastern Italy’s sparkling-wine country, and this 0.0% bottling takes that familiar bright, easy-drinking style and gives it a genuinely alcohol-free twist.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect With...
