Region and Vineyards
Sorelle Bronca’s Prosecco is produced in Conegliano Valdobbiadene DOCG, the most prestigious area for Prosecco, known for its steep vineyard slopes and mineral-rich soils. The region’s unique microclimate, influenced by cool mountain air and warm Adriatic breezes, enhances aromatic complexity and freshness in the wines.
The vineyards are planted on hillside plots with well-draining calcareous and clay soils, ensuring lower yields but higher concentration and elegance. Due to the steep slopes, all harvesting is done by hand, preserving the delicate character of the Glera grapes.
Winemaking
The Glera grapes are handpicked and gently pressed to preserve aromatic purity. Fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks at controlled temperatures, using the Charmat method, which enhances the wine’s crispness and fruit-driven profile.
The secondary fermentation lasts several weeks, refining the perlage and preserving freshness. The wine is bottled with a residual sugar level typical of the Brut style, ensuring a dry, refined expression with bright acidity and a lingering finish.
Tasting Notes
- Color: Pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles.
- Aroma: Fresh green apple, white flowers, citrus zest, and a hint of almond.
- Palate: Crisp and refreshing, with lively acidity and notes of pear, lemon, and mineral undertones. The finish is dry, elegant, and persistent.
