Martini, Prosecco DOC (Veneto, Italy) 2016

Aug 24, 2017

By Rich Cook

Vintage Prosecco?  Yes, it does exist, and this is a good example at a great price.  It’s clean and refreshing, and absent the beery finish that seems to afflict Glera when not handled with care.  Bright melon and citrus ride lively effervescence and finish with a zesty pop.  A great aperitif, and at this price you can keep a stock on hand.  It’s very attractively packaged to boot, and will make a fine gift.
