This is one of our great finds. Hand harvested, no pesticides, no herbicides, low intervention wine. This Prosecco Rose is our best seller. Great value and deliciousness. Crisp, mineral, and flavorful, easy to gulp. I want to keep it simple and let the wine speak for itself. Ideal party wine.

Crafted by small-scale Organic growers in the Friuli region, this 100% Glera sparkling wine is a masterclass in mineral purity and varietal integrity. The name "Sorgente" (meaning source or spring) reflects the estate's dedication to the water-rich, limestone-heavy soils of the Grave del Friuli. Unlike industrial Prosecco houses that prioritize speed, Sorgente utilizes a slow second fermentation to create finer, more persistent bubbles that carry the aromatics more effectively. 

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).

Sorgente Prosecco comes from a six hectare parcel of Glera vines located in Friuli-Venezia Giulia, and a solid golf shot away from the Veneto border to the west, the vineyards sit only a few hundred meters from the natural spring (called sorgente in Italian) at the nascita of the Livenza River. Interestingly, we chose the name Sorgente because it means “Source” in Italian.
