Mionetto Prosecco Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Brut NV

The Wall Street Journal selected Mionetto Brut as the best wine of their tasting and best value. Also dubbed an "Amazing Value" by Food & Wine who included it in their Top 100 Bottles to Drink Right Now. The perfect wine for every occasion, this dry but richly fruity Prosecco comes from the most prestigious producer of this beloved Italian Sparkler. Mionetto has made a name for Prosecco by turning out delicious expressive bottlings just like this one. Ripe Prosecco grapes from the hillsides of Valdobbiadene in Northern Italy are fermented into fresh white wine. Then a secondary fermentation is done in tank for a refreshing effervescence that brings it all to life. Apple, mineral and vanilla nuances tickle the palate and since its Brut style it finishes very dry and clean. This wine holds no pretensions of being a Champagne replica. It stands on its own as a delicious and tremendous value.

This wine has an intense fruity bouquet with a hint of golden apple. Brut, fresh and light in body, Mionetto Prosecco Brut is well-balanced and easy to drink.

Thereandrsquo;s a pretty floral edge to this crisp sparkler, mixing with green apple and lemon zest flavors. The finish is lightly juicy.

Nestled beneath the Alps in northeastern Italy, the region of Valdobbiadene is as inviting as its sparkling wine. Prosecco, made with the grape of the same name, is not a sparkler that needs over-analysis. True, its juicy pear and apple flavors and lively bubbles have immediate appeal, and, true as well, Prosecco made from grapes grown in the most prized vineyards often show more depth, complexity and structure than their more modest namesakes. But it is, most of all, a sparkling wine to be enjoyed without a great deal of ceremony. Recently, I had the privilege to taste the whole product line of Mionetto with its winemaker, Alessio Del Savio: from the simplest to the most complex, all pure pleasure. It is delightful, affordable and extremely versatile: on its own, on any occasion, in mimosas or bellinis, or served as they do in the Veneto in a Spritz andmdash; equal parts of Prosecco and Aperol or Campari over ice, garnished with a slice of orange.
