Hails from the home of Prosecco and combines signature zesty bubbly action with more flavour depth than maybe some drinkers might be expecting or used to. Flavours delve into yellow apple, baked quince, pear, citrus with the lively addition of honeysuckle. The quality and the price alone indicate a high degree of seriousness and it’s delivered with a layering of flavours and texture, running fine, long and bubbly true with good acidity in tow. Finishes with a definite sweetness, a lemon sherbet brightness, that lifts the wine.
