✨ Technical Specifications
Hailing from the historic hills of northeastern Italy, Zonin's expression of the Glera grape captures the vibrant spirit of the Prosecco DOC. The Zonin family, with a winemaking legacy dating back to 1821 in the Veneto region, has played a pivotal role in popularizing this sparkling treasure globally. Crafted primarily from the Glera grape, this wine undergoes the Charmat method in stainless steel autoclaves, a technique designed to preserve the grape's delicate, primary aromas of white peach, green apple, and fragrant wisteria blossoms. The terroir of Prosecco, characterized by mineral-rich soils and a climate moderated by the nearby Adriatic Sea and the protective Alps, imparts a crisp acidity and refreshing minerality that defines this classic Italian sparkling wine.
