Hi I’m Paul quini Italian wine Ambassador in somier and today we are going to uncork some of the truths about prco so what exactly is prco well prco is a very specific wine it must be made with a great variety called glara has to be 85% of that a handful of other great
Varieties that are used in the blend doesn’t have to be but it can be it also so must be made within the region of prco the prco region is actually quite large it stretches across the Veno into fi Veneta Julia the real heart the historic part of the prco region is an
Area between two really tough to pronounce towns um one is called colano and the other is vad it’s not important that you know how to pronounce those names but if you see those two words on a label that is important because that means it’s docg
Pero as opposed to Doc but wait so does Doc and docg matter to the average consumer who’s looking for a bottle of prco you know in most cases I would say docc and docg really doesn’t matter that much but in the case of prco it really does matter the
Denin the origini contata is a much larger area the docg is a much smaller area it’s located between these two towns colano valad and this is the hilly historic region the yields are lower in this region all of the grapes must be handh harvested you really do get a superior quality product
In the docg so how is prco produced well unlike like champagne where the second fermentation occurs in the bottle here the fermentation takes place in a large tank called an autoclave sometimes it’s called the charmat method or the marati method but this production method of course is less expensive and time
Consuming than the traditional method where you do the second fermentation in the bottle but it also really captures the essence of the glare or grape that broodiness that brightness and it’s what makes Pros so appealing if this video made you thirsty for a glass of prco
Here are a few of my favorite Brands I love laella and C Villa prco they are absolutely great for mixing my favorite prco brand is calto um col Alto is one of those historic Estates in the heart of the prco docg they actually have single Vineyard Pros on the label you’ll
See Sans Salvador for the brute prco that’s a single Vineyard unheard of on the extra dry prco you’ll see the name GAO that is another single Vineyard prco something you just don’t see in the world of prco today and you’ll find all of these at ABC Fine Wine and Spirits
