Prosecco has a long and varied history, originally made as a still wine it eventually morphed into the world’s most popular sparkling wine. And now Voga has decided to take Prosecco back to its roots, and is making a “still Prosecco,” specifically without bubbles. Comprised entirely of Glera (the grape name which was also called Prosecco at one point) this offers softer notes of apricot, resin, and light guava, but this is not a fruity wine – there are more stone fruit characteristics – white peach, quince and loquat. It’s something out of the norm tasting vastly different than Chardonnay and Sauvignon Blanc. The acidity is fairly mild so this pairs better with straight appetizers, salads, not heavier creamed dishes. And considering the price point this can be a terrific everyday wine at an affordable price, one that has a history behind it, but also one that is paving a new course. ORIGIN: Veneto, Italy. ALCOHOL: 10.5%
