Prisecco Cuvée No. 12 – non-alcoholic

Manufaktur Jörg Geiger – Prisecco Cuvée No. 12 non-alcoholic

The Prisecco Cuvée No. 12 is an intensely berry-forward Prisecco from Manufaktur Jörg Geiger. Non-alcoholic and sparkling, pleasantly dry, yet fabulously fruity, it is a perfect chilled aperitif for everyone at the table and an excellent food pairing.

Prisecco Cuvée No. 12 – Pinot Meunier and blackcurrant twigs

The base for this cuvée consists of juice from blue grapes of the Pinot Meunier and Dornfelder varieties, as well as unripe apples, rounded off with chopped blackcurrant twigs, Douglas fir tips, and selected spices. The Pinot Meunier grapes are macerated in the press together with chopped blackcurrant wood and then gently pressed. This creates a quite grape-forward, bright ruby-red Prisecco that is fruity with fragrant notes of red currants and blue grapes, accompanied by citrus notes and ending in a slightly tart finish. Prisecco Cuvée No. 12 pairs well with wild fowl, roasted veal with savory sauce, and fruit-forward appetizers combined with dark meat (e.g., tender, pink-roasted duck breast).

Please note that PriSecco Cuvée No. 12 will only be available for a limited time, as it—like all Prisecco cuvées—is only bottled once a year.

Non-alcoholic products – from Manufaktur Jörg Geiger

PriSecco is the best-selling specialty from Manufaktur Jörg Geiger. Sophisticated and balanced, all Prisecco varieties surprise with their enormous complexity. The absence of alcohol is not felt as a deficiency; on the contrary, PriSecco fills a gap for new, modern, non-alcoholic beverages based on old fruit varieties. The old apple and cider pear varieties come from the orchard meadows that shape the landscape along the bird sanctuary at the foot of the Swabian Jura—hand-picked, ripened, and gently processed at the Jörg Geiger workshop, which has already received several awards for its juices (including from Slow Food). Due to their distinct aromatics, the acidity of old apple varieties, and the pronounced tannin note of the pears, these juices form a very special, natural foundation for the Geiger Prisecco varieties.

We have known the owner of the Geiger workshop, Jörg Geiger, personally for many years. The Prisecco workshop is located in Schlat near Göppingen, where I lived myself for several years. Jörg Geiger started making fruit-based non-alcoholic cocktails more as a hobby. He has since acquired a great deal of knowledge about the preparation of this non-alcoholic specialty, as well as old fruit varieties and the use of herbs. In addition to fine dining establishments, where his Prisecco is popular as a non-alcoholic aperitif and meal accompaniment, more and more people are enjoying their favorite Prisecco at home. We are very pleased about this, as we have been offering Prisecco for online order for more than 15 years.
