Zonin 1821 Grey Cuvee Prosecco Brut 750 ML

This is a semi-dry, attractive and well-balanced sparkling wine with a light almond nuance. Wisteria flower and apple stand out in a very intense, aromatic and fruity aroma.\n \n Producer Information\n \n Casa Vinicola Zonin is a wine group based in the Veneto region with wineries across Italy and in the USA. It is famous for its sparkling wines, and in particular Prosecco, but also produces wines in Piedmont, Lombardy, Friuli, Tuscany, Puglia and Sicily. The core Zonin company was founded in 1821 in Gambellara in the province of Vicenza, and made wines solely in northeast Italy until the 1960s. Expansion began when Zonin purchased Ca' Bolani in Fruili, followed by Castello di Albola in Chianti Classico. Today, the empire has reached as far afield as Barboursville Vineyards in Virginia. Zonin owns nine estates in Italy, and one in the USA. Each of these produce separately marketed estate wines, and the Italian estates also supply wines for Zonin's own label wines. Vineyard holdings across Italy exceed 2000 hectares (5000 acres). Podere Il Giangio is the historic original vineyard of the Zonin family and is the source of single-estate Gambellara DOCG wines from the Garganega grape variety. It is sited on a steep, terraced hillside with mineral rich volcanic tuff soils.
