2022 Borga Vintage Prosecco Brut

Its Origins

"Our top prosecco is a DOC from Chiarano, a town in the Treviso region of Veneto. The family has grown grapes in their 33 hectares of vineyards at Chiarano since 1940. The company is managed by four cousins who used to play in the vineyards as children but now each play their part in running the business. The glera grapes for this prosecco are grown in clay soils and after harvest the freshly picked grapes were de-stemmed and pressed before initial fermentation to make the base wine. The second fermentation, which makes the wine sparkling, took place in a sealed pressure-resistant tank – this is known as the charmat method – for 30 days before being filtered and bottled."
