Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Frothy effervescence and delicate floral notes open this sweet Prosecco from the Cartizze cru. This wine in particular is characterized by a sweetness that is fruity, soft and chewy at the same time. The only drawback is the price tag: this is among the most expensive Proseccos we’ve seen.

Masottina Prosecco - NV

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
One expects elegance, grace and precision from this prestige cuvée, and this wine delivers that and much more. There is a refined complexity running through it, from the cascading tiny bubbles to the lush, toasty nose to the dense, palate-tickling, complex mouthfeel, which continues seamlessly through to a long, ultrasatisfying finish. Stylish and seductive.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Light and luminous with delicate aromas of spring flower, citrus and stone fruit, this Extra Dry Prosecco would make a great companion to crispy fried shrimp. It boasts a clean mouthfeel with sharp, spicy effervescence.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Clean and attractive, with seductive honey, melon and ripe peach flavors. Not as lively or aggressive as some, but that can be construed as a virtue. Sweet inthat likable extra dry sense. Imported by Vias Imports.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
No, not the goddess: Venus is the name of the horse that plows the Agrapart vineyards. This wine, labeled “nature”—without dosage—is all green apples and very dry. It’s distinctive, but many would find it too distinctive because of its rather lean edge, and very acidic aftertaste.

Agrapart & Fils Chardonnay - 2001

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dosed heavily to be sweet, but still very nice. Look for ripe melon and sugared citrus on the palate, followed by a thick finish that toes the line on cloying but manages to avoid stepping on it. Not quite as clean as the bodega’s normal semisweet cava.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
This vintage Cuvée Prosecco done in an Extra Dry style from the innovative Astoria producer (that just inaugurated a beautifully designed tasting room) offers fresh tones of lime, citrus, stone fruit and lingering flavors of peach and apricot. A dry mineral tone frames the wine’s natural sweetness.

Astoria Prosecco - 2008

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Mostly Pinot Noir with some Chardonnay, this bubbly shows the pedigree of these two noble varieties in its balance and elegance. It has rich Champagne-like flavors of smoke, brioche, raspberry, lime and vanilla, and finishes dry and polished. This is a great price for a sparkling wine of this quality and sophistication.

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
Dusty mineral tones are in line with aromatic white flowers, crisp green apple and almond skin. A festive and seductive nose opens onto fruit candy flavors and a tart, crisp endnote. Imported by Villa Italia.

Ruggeri & C. Prosecco - NV

Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
A wonderful Chardonnay-based bubbly, tight and muscular, with a profusion of sleek green fruits. Compact and somewhat slow to reveal its inner depths, this ageworthy bottle gradually unfolds into a textured, creamy and seductive, multilayered treat.
