Hong Kong importer Cuvees has gained the exclusive distribution rights for Italy’s famed Prosecco brand Ca’ di Rajo for the local market starting this month.

The range available in Hong Kong includes the Prosecco Treviso Brut NV, Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene Millesimato Extra Dry 2016, a 2016 Pinot Grigo as well as the 2015 vintages of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, selling from HK$95 to HK$120.

The Millesimato Extra Dry Prosecco is made from 100% Glera, planted in the gentle, hilly and low-yielding growing areas of the Superiore DOCG zone. The wine has undergone a longer than usual ‘Charmat’ vinification over 70 days – double the time required by DOCG standard, according to the winery.

Based in the hills of Treviso, Ca’ di Rajo has been making wines in northern Italy since 1931 and is now a third generation producer of Prosecco.

Wines from Veneto & Surrounding Areas

Written By Heidi Chan - June 18 2016

Italian language school in Hong Kong Dante Alighieri Society yesterday ran a closed wine tasting with the Santa Margherita Wine Group where wines under the Santa Margherita brand and the Torresella and Kettmeir labels were introduced to the fellow students and their invited guests. 

The small group was led by an Italian sommelier through a tasting of five wines, three sparklings from Veneto (Valdobbiadene, Prosecco and Spumante Rosato) and two wines from Alto-Adige (Pinot Grigio and Pinot Nero aka Pinot Noir grown at the high-altitiude vineyards)

Veneto might be the most heard of wine region in North Eastern Italy, but it is not the only part of the wine story attached to it. Due to the long history under influence from the neighbouring countries Austria and Slovenia, the little known appellations Trentino-Alto Adige and Friuli-Venezia Giulia are known for their exotic wine styles. So next time you pick a wine, consider trying these undiscovered Italian wines with distinctive narratives and flavours, usually offered at a rather reasonable price.
