Background: Nestled in the Valdobbiadene hills of the eastern Veneto is one of the most wonderful wine growing regions. This is home to a grape variety native to Veneto -- Prosecco. Prosecco is used to make a highly flavored dry and delicate sparkling wine.

Wine notes: With peach and apple aromas, this fresh and balanced sparkling wine has fine perlage with a refreshing finish. Prosecco di Valdobbiadene is excellent as an aperitif, ideal with seafood dishes and after meals with light desserts. Straw yellow in color with an aroma of lively vinosity characterized by a fine fruity fragrance and an elegant long-lived perlage, this sparkling wine is pleasantly dry with a well-balanced acidity, which makes the wine fresh and lively.

Italy’s Best Sparkling Wine Value: Veneto's Prosecco

December 01st, 2007Written by Loren Sonkin
Continuing our Italian Sparkling wine Journeys (just in time for the holidays), we will continue to head east thru northern Italy. You may recall we started in Piemonte with Asti Spumante and Moscato d’Asti. Then traveled east thru Lombardia and their sparkler, Franciacorta. Continuing on east of Lombardia is the Veneto, home to some world class red and white wines and perhaps the best sparkling wine value (along with Cava from Spain) available on store shelves. I am talking, of course, about Prosecco .

Prosecco: Champagne's Sexy Italian Cousin

I'm often inspired by this illusive effevescent wonder. It makes the perfect start or finish to any dining experience and is a masterful accompaniment to meals designed not to overpower the delicate sparkling wine. A tall flute of prosecco is simple: visually perfect. Not much need be done to enjoy it, but it brings added pleasure to anything it is paired with.

2014 Gardiz Prosecc, Italy, Veneto, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene - Wine Review

Score:

Grade: 
B+

Prosecco has some of the best values in Sparkling wine.  You can get very nice bottles like this one for under $15.  Perfect for parties.  Light golden in color.  The nose has slight apples but more about minerals.  On the palate, this is crisp and dry.  Mineral driven.  Juicy acidity.  Flat out enjoyable.
