Brown Brothers Prosecco NV

The sparkling dry Italian wine, Prosecco is crafted from the Glera grape in the regions of the Veneto and Friuli Venezia Giulia in Italy - most traditionally in the hills north of Treviso. Usually produced using the Charmat method in which the secondary fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks, the resulting wine can either be the fully sparkling (spumante) or lightly sparkling (frizzante) in style and sometimes includes a blend of Pinot Bianco or Pinot Grigio. Prosecco is a popular base for a Bellini or Spritz cocktail and on its own it is an excellent apéritif or celebratory Sparkling wine.

Mediterranean varietals headline the beautiful King Valley’s contribution to the Australian wine industry. Cool, crisp white wines and savoury, spicy reds are the hallmark of this region, with Prosecco, Arneis, Nebbiolo, Pinot Grigio, Sangiovese, Barbera, Dolcetto and Tempranillo all flourishing. The valley’s higher altitude climate is ideal for the production of fine sparkling wines as well as traditional-style Muscats and Ports. Located in Victoria's high country, the King Valley is actually the highest wine region in Australia. The most famous winery has been run by the Brown family at Milawa since 1889 and there are now more than 70 families in the King Valley tending to over 1,800 hectares of vineyards.
