PROSECCO GRAPES

The Prosecco is a vigorous and hardy vine, with nut-coloured shoots and quite large, loosely-packed winged clusters of beautiful golden yellow berries.
In the cultivation there is the 90% of Prosecco, and the 10% is composed by lesser vine varieties like Verdiso, Perera and Bianchetta.

THE VERDISO

This grapes is used to increase the wine acidity and sapidity. The Verdiso has medium-sized clusters with very long, herbaceous peduncles (grape-stalks) and long, slender, reddish shoots. Its berries are a beautiful citrine yellow.

THE PERERA

The Perera is used to enhance perfume end aroma of the wine. Some say that its "strange" name comes from very particular taste of its pulp (that is to say the taste of "pera", the Italian word for pear) or from its shape, which resembles that of an upturned pear. The Perera is a variety very similar to Prosecco, but with slightly larger clusters, berries deep yellow in colour and shiny.

THE BIANCHETTA

The Bianchetta is exceptionally vigorous, with opaque green leaves and medium-sized, yellowish-green clusters, each having a single wing that makes it seem almost like a double cluster.
