Valdo, Prosecco DOC (Veneto, Italy) Brut “Marca Oro” NV ($15)

There is a serious ocean of Prosecco out there, and wading through it all may seem daunting, especially when trying to find good value. This “Marca Oro” bottling over-delivers at its price point, with a mix of peach and citrus fruit, a pleasantly aggressive mousse and a clean pithy finish with no beer-ish notes. It will make for a great dry side spritz, or a fine quaff on its own.
