In Treviso, Prosecco's heartland', the locals have a motto to describe their home - 'marca gioiosa et amorosa', it's a 'joyful and amorous' place. It inspired the Moretti Polegatto family when they needed a name for their Prosecco business. They've been making Prosecco for three generations and wanted a name that tied them to the land which had given them so much.
'Gioiosa' - 'joyful' was the perfect fit. Not least because it describes these bubbles.
Fresh. Fruity. They'll definitely provoke a joyous reaction in you. This is full of classic Prosecco flavour. Think white blossom, pear and peachy stone fruit. It's a delicious aperitif or party wine - and perfect with canapés.
