LE VIGNE DI ALICE
Veneto, Italy
Inspired by memories of her grandmother’s tavern or osteria, where conviviality and wines like A Fondo and Tajad followed, Cinzia Canzian started Alice (the name of her grandmother) in 2004, after an experience of almost two decades working for her husband winery and the Prosecco consortium. Her vision was to bottle an artisan Prosecco that’s true of the grapes and soil, but also bone dry Brut, and fruit from vineyards at the base of the Dolomites near her home.
Alice’s Brut style was the first in the Prosecco area to really get the attention of sommeliers and wine lovers looking for something to pair instead of Champagne, and it is still considered one of the best.
