This Friuli-Venezia Giulia based Prosecco wine is a unique collaboration with The Source. 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) and 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, both wines are racy and straight, with a dosage of 12g/L for the Extra Dry Prosecco and 5g/L for the Brut. Sorgente’s Pinot Grigio sidekick, Tuo is grown in the same vineyards and also hand-harvested with two different pickings to bring greater complexity and range to its profile.
