Frothy and Floral Single-Vineyard Prosecco
Recommended by Tim as an excellent single-vineyard Prosecco both Jenn and I were immediately pleased by our first glass. Jenn even remarked that this might be her bubbly selection for the summer. Prosecco is a different type of wine in that it is fermented entirely in stainless steel tank before transferring to the bottles after the bubbles have been produced. This results in a wine with a relatively low alcohol, this bottle lists 11.5%. This wine from Bortolomiol is produced from parcels located on the hill of Cartizze which is considered to produce the best Prosecco. If you are looking for an aromatic wine with sweet floral notes and frothy feel then grab a few bottles of this selection. With its low alcohol you may readily drink a few glasses and feel refreshed. This is currently available at MacArthur Beverages.
