Sparkling Garganega was starting to become "a thing" in the Soave region of the Veneto when I last visited the area in 2008, and I’m glad to see some of it making its way to the States. This bottle shows the refreshing, clean character of the grape, with lemon, lime and lychee aromas presented as bright flavors on the palate in a crisp, barely off dry style that will please a wide range of people. It lacks what I call the "beery" character of most inexpensive Prosecco, much to its credit. Contains 20% Durella.
