Sorgente, Prosecco DOC Brut, Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Italy, NV

100% Glera grown 20km south of the Alps and 30km northeast of the Adriatic Sea in Friuli-Venezia Giulia on the western Veneto border, next to a natural spring (sorgente).

Void of all herbicides and pesticides, and grown on limestone and clay mixed with river alluvium, all the grapes are harvested by hand (a rarity with Prosecco DOC wine). A triage of the free run juice and only the first half of the press juice is reserved for the final bottling. Primary fermentation takes place naturally while the second fermentation is made with cultured yeast to ensure the right final balance. Aged in steel, this Prosecco is racy and straight, with a dosage of 5g/L.
