About Sorelle Bronca: The Sorelle firm was founded by sisters Antonella and Ersiliana in the mid-eighties in a small farming center in the heart of the Prosecco DOC. Antonella's husband and Ersiliana's daughter have since joined the firm, making this a true family venture. The team practices organic viticulture and has sourced the grapes for this wine from southern-facing hills, ensuring that the fruit flavors are bright and ripe.
About Prosecco: Prosecco (also known as Glera) is a late-ripening grape that produces flirty, fruity sparkling wines from the Veneto region of Northern Italy. Traditionally, Prosecco was fizzy because the cold weather of the region would stop fermentation midway, and then it would resume in the bottle unintentionally, creating carbonation under bottle pressure. In 1868, Antonio Carpene reined in the process and was the first in Italy to develop the tank method, a process named Charmat after its French inventory. Since then, Prosecco has undergone secondary fermentation in steel vats, leaving its flavor clean and crisp, with its natural sweet peachy qualities shining through. It's grown on bucolic, steep and well-drained slopes very close to the Alps. Cool Alpine breezes interact with warm air from the Adriatic to preserve acidity and aromas in the grapes.

The non-vintage Prosecco del Valdobiaddene Extra Dry exhibits crisp
apple skin and citrus notes, good effervescence, tiny, well-proportioned
bubbles and a light-bodied mouthfeel. This well-made, zesty offering is
meant to be consumed in its first year of life.

There's a soft, creamy element to the nose of this Extra Dry Prosecco that is surrounded by pretty aromas of peach, melon and passion fruit. The mouthfeel is rich, foamy and smooth
