Complex and velvety with hints of ripe yellow apple, yellow plum, whiteflowers – predominantly white rose, slightly spicy and balsamic. The low sulphur enhances a deeper and more clear-cut sense of the aromas. Intense and noble, it recalls the complexity of the aroma and hints of fruit.

Initial aromas for this Prosecco by Pizzini include yeasty and melon notes, as the wine opens up in the glass the nose smacks of citrus blossom, fresh lime, Wisteria flower and green apples. It is refreshingly fizzy with gentle, lemony acidity.

This wine, which is made from grapes grown organically, begins with the smells of red-skinned berries, violet, and baking spice. Valpolicella is one of the most well-known red wine districts in the Veneto region, and this entry level offering from La Dama is a great way to find out why. Made from a blend of the typical varieties of the region - Corvina, Corvinone, Rondinella and a tiny splash of Molinara - it's a fresh, modern take on a sometimes-rustic wine style, with little oak and lots of fine, graceful tannins.

This runner-up Prosecco is perfect with antipasto. Pale straw yellow in colour with lifted light nutty aromas of biscuit and cashew. A creamy palate and long finish.
