Prosecco Superiore, as my colleague here at Wine Review Online recently pointed out, is a category of Prosecco that is a step above those labeled simply Prosecco because the land from which the grapes come is, well, just better. Bortolomiol, certainly one of the names to remember, makes a range of fine Prosecco sparklers. The Bandarossa, named from the red band on the neck, balances noticeable sweetness with bright and enlivening acidity. Its sweet profile makes it an excellent choice for the panoply of flavors of an omakase, take-out sushi, or spiced Asian cuisine.
