This is the star white variety out of Friuli in the north-east of Italy, and now Aussie winemakers are putting their stamp on it, especially those in the King Valley.Bright pale straw. Fresh green apple and herb aromas. Palate shows crunchy pear and apple fruit in a light, dry and crisp style with fresh acidity and easy-drinking appeal.

“A premium prosecco – why not? A drier prosecco than usual, bringing gravitas to the style, with a smarter, tighter line and length. No simple lemonade characters here, but rather some depth in aroma and flavour. Granny Smith apples, grapefruit, pear skin, preserved lemon. Zesty, bright on the palate but settles into a citrus-infused, lemon-tart line of flavour with a waxy mouthfeel. Definitely a step up in poise and elegance for the variety.” Jeni Port

In the glass: Very pale straw. On the nose: Pear, lemon, apple lift. On the palate: Very fresh and lively with a savoury mix of white fruit, a slightly nutty layer of complexity and a velvety mouth-feel.
