Famiglia Boron Prosecco DOC

Review Summary: Gently spritzy and airy in it’s feel this a Prosecco with no shortage of flavour.

The Detailed review: During the 1950’s, Remigio and Amedio Boron purchased a moderate size plot of land near the commune of Pramaggiore, which in the late 1960’s became known as the ‘Lison’ DOC – one of the more unique DOCs as it crosses over both the Veneto (to the west) and Friuli-Venezia Giulia (to the southeast) and in turn, as a region, grows a wide gamut of grape varieties. In their early years the winery, like many in the region, produced their Lison Classico DOCG made from the Friulano grape, along with typical styles of sparkling wines. These days, 3rd generation family members, Sabrina, Andrea, and Roberto, combined new technology with their wine making experience and grow a careful selection of grapes that work in harmony with their land such as Lison Classico (Friulano), Refosco del Peduncolo and Prosecco. As a category, it will come as no surprise that Prosecco is the most widely consumed sparkling wine on the planet. Many styles these days are made in the ‘spumante’ style offering heavily carbonated bubbles, whereas Familia Boron’s Prosecco is made in the more traditional frizzante style. Made entirely from Glera, this semi-sparkling wine carries a finer bead (due to its lower atmospheric pressure).
A light frothy mousse dissipates to reveal a pale straw coloured base that has a delicate fine bead flowing through it. Aromas of pear and ripe apples mix with some lees and subtle lemon sherbet like notes. Delicious pear and apple fruits are delivered with ample concentration and carry an airy feel. Some sherbet and citrus characters linger underneath. Finishes dry with crisp acidity and a nicely formed conclusion that shows no shortage of flavour.
