Le Colture, Valdobbiadene Superiore DOCG (Veneto, Italy) 2018

 I am an unabashed fan of brut Prosecco from the Valdobbiadene district, to my mind the source of the most sophisticated and consistently elegant Prosecco wines.  This vintage from Gerardo is creamy on the palate despite a strong note of typically tart green apple.  Complex notes of apple, pear and peach deliver aromatically, and the long finish ends with a hint of brioche.
