INNOVATION : the Astoria sparkling wine, as one of the main sponsors in the most important cycling race in the world, is presented at the Giro d'Italia 2024 with a cork derived from sugar cane !!!
“Green” corks are also arriving for sparkling wines. Leading the way Astoria Wines has signed an agreement with the global producer Vinventions for the first use in the world of its new NOMACORC Pops stopper, a stopper for sparkling wines made of plant-based plastic obtained from sugar cane and with zero carbon footprint.
The main feature of this stopper, created after 5 years of research and tests, is to guarantee the same mechanical properties of a normal cork stopper and the optimal conservation of the carbonic gas dissolved in the bottle, but with complete sensorial neutrality and without the risk of TCA (or TriChloroAnisole, the molecule that causes the typical "corky taste" and is usually due to fungi present in cork). But it is also a further step on the path to sustainable development for the wine world, as Antonino La Placa, Sales Director of Vinventions Italy and South East Europe , explains : “Pops offers the competitive advantage of being the only closure for sparkling wines with a net carbon footprint neutral and to be designed to be recyclable".
An innovative project that needed an important sparkling wine brand to be put to the test, and found the ideal partner in Astoria, as Astoria CEO Filippo Polegato says: “We have always been attentive to innovation, continuous improvement and a 360° concept of sustainability (which is social, environmental and cultural) we enthusiastically kicked off this collaboration with a reference company like Vinventions. After months of testing, we decided to debut on a particularly prestigious occasion, the Giro d'Italia 2024 cycling.

You can toast even without alcohol : Astoria wines knows this well. It not only produces a Prosecco that is loved and known the world over, but also wants to entertain those who do not drink or who have already had enough. Out of this desire came Zerotondo 9.5, the first zero-alcohol grape sparkling wine made from white grapes from organic viticulture. Unlike other products on the market, it is not a wine dealcolato through chemical-physical technological operations, but a must stored in special refrigerated tanks, in order to avoid the fermentation process, which is added with carbon dioxide of natural origin before bottling.
Zerotondo 9.5 is made using state-of-the-art technology, which processes the must with a soft pressing and after a short cold maceration, stores it in special refrigerated tanks to prevent fermentation. The white grapes come from organic farming. Before bottling, carbon dioxide of natural origin is added. The colour is straw yellow with golden reflections, brilliant, fresh and fruity aroma, delicately sweet taste. Serve cold at 3-5°C./37.4-41°F.
