Sisters Antonella and Ersiliana Bronca have steered their estate along the path of quality since taking over the reins from their father, Livio. Joined by Antonella’s husband, Pietro, a winemaker, and Ersiliana’s daughter Elisa, who a degree in enology, this family team works hard in the vineyard and in the cellar to produce the purest Prosecco out there.
The wines are classified as a Prosecco Colli Conegliano DOCG, the region having achieved DOCG status as of April 2010. In addition, many of their steep, hillside vineyards lie within the borders of the prized Valdobbiadene region, part of the larger UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The Sorelle Bronca vineyards are higher in average age than most of the surrounding wineries, where younger, high-production vineyards are prized. Vineyard work and harvest are done by hand for every wine in the range. Modi is a 100% Glera Prosecco from San Pietro di Feletto, at 150-250 meters in elevation. Here, the slopes are very steep, at 60% in grade. The L’Ovest is from the Valdobbiadene DOCG, from three vineyards (Lavina rossa, Scanolera, and Rive) in the western section of the appellation, in the towns of Col San Martino, Colbertaldo, and Farrò. Work in the winery’s 20 hectares of vineyards is impeccable, and they work as naturally as possible, without the use of chemicals.
