The flagship product is '47AD Prosecco Extra Dry Black.' The name '47AD' is derived from the Roman road Via Claudia Augusta, which crosses the area where the winery was established. This road began construction in 15 BC under Emperor Augustus for military purposes, connecting Venice through the Alps, and was completed 60 years later in AD 47 by Emperor Claudius. The winery's name signifies the year this road was opened.

'Prosecco' refers to sparkling wines produced in the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia regions of northern Italy. While sparkling wines are generally called 'Spumante' in Italy, these regions have a distinct name for their products. Prosecco uses more than 85% of the indigenous Glera grape and contains aromas of green apple, melon, and pear. The designation varies depending on the sweetness and carbonation levels.

The 47AD Prosecco Extra Dry Black features well-refined bubbles that leave a pleasant aftertaste and an attractive harmony of acidity and sweetness. The company explains that it also has excellent persistence of fruit and floral aromas. This wine has received awards from Luca Maroni and Decanter, characterized by its outstanding quality and stylish bottle design.

At this event, Dongwon Wine Plus will also introduce key products such as '47AD Prosecco Ros?,' '47AD Gran Cuv?e Spumante Gold,' and '47AD Prosecco Extra Brut Mint.' The 47AD Prosecco Ros? offers fresh fruit and floral scents with a pronounced crispness. It is an award-winning product from wine competitions, allowing you to enjoy a fantastic blend of Glera and Pinot Nero.

The 47AD Gran Cuv?e Spumante Gold presents aromas of apple, banana, and white flowers, with moderate acidity and bubbles that pleasantly linger in the mouth. The gold capsule wrapping makes it an excellent gift choice. The 47AD Prosecco Extra Brut Mint provides a pleasant aftertaste with fresh and clean green apple aromas. It is a wine that refreshes the palate before or after meals.
