The NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rustico is a rather exuberant yet steely, powerful Prosecco. White peaches, crushed rocks, smoke and flowers are some of the nuances that flow from this large-scaled, important Prosecco. A rich, textured finish rounds things out nicely. The Rustico is far from an easy-going cocktail wine, and is sure to be better at the table than on its own. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013.

Crisp apple flavors carry through this clean, vinous Prosecco, lending it the freshness of mountain snow and edelweiss. It's simple, focused along a tight stream of bubbles. A fine aperitif.
