Sorelle Bronca Particella 181 Prosecco

Producer: Sorelle Bronca  
Region: Prosecco, Veneto, Italy  
Varietal: Glera  
Year: Non-Vintage 

Winemaker Notes: 

"What makes this wine so interesting? The vineyard, first of all; the soil is a reddish irontinged stony marl, the slope is steep; the farming is all by hand, with no use of herbicides; and the grapes are hand-harvested. Tasting the new Particella 181 for the first time was the winetasting equivalent of being hit by lightning. It smells like some kind of exalted green apple perfumed with honeysuckle; on the palate the balance of vivid fruit and electric acidity is just perfect; drinking it is such a pleasure." 

About the Producer: 

"Sorelle Bronca is a small estate, managed by Antonella and Ersiliana, the sisters ('Sorelle') Bronca, and their families. The Bronca sisters grow their own fruit in steep hillside vineyards around the villages of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north-west of Venice, controlling the entire process themselves. Low yields and hillside-grown fruit ensure that the wine has good concentration and acidity."
