375 ml & 750 ml

This graceful, fragrant Prosecco is the fruit of a selection of Glera grapes from the finest vineyards in the region of Cordignano, Sarmede, and Cappella Maggiore in the hills of Treviso. The vines, largely trained to the Sylvoz system, are planted to an average density of 4,000 per hectare. The harvest, entirely by hand, is carried out in the mid-September, the yield averages 90 q./ha. The clusters are de-stemmed then gently pressed in a bladder press. After gravity-settling, the must is fermented, then re-ferments in 100hl steel pressure fermenters for about two months, in accord with the Italian Method.

Fratelli Prosecco appears luminous and sparkling , with a delicate bead of fine bubbles and a soft but generous mousse. The bouquet is generous, with emphatic notes of golden delicious apple, peach and wisteria, displaying a wonderful balance between fragrance and refreshing crispness. The palate is fruit-forward and smooth, full-bodied and well-structured; overall, it is a harmonious and elegant wine.

An ideal aperitif wine, while it's firm structure and body admirably suit it for partnering with Italian antipasti and first courses of vegetable and fish.

The vineyards, all within the Prosecco DOC region, face south-southeast. The climate is temperate, with cold winters and warm summers, and consistent ventilation. The vines, dense-planted , are trained to a mixture of spurred cordon and Sylvoz. The grapes are picked exclusively by hand, around mid-September; yields in must average of 90 hl/ha.
