Zardetto Prosecco Extra Brut NV 750ml

The NV Prosecco Superiore Extra Dry lifts up with a sweet display of citrus-laced peaches, apricot and crushed stone. It’s a nicely balanced effort that matches its ripe fruit persona to brilliant acidity, all carried by a delicate bead of fine bubbles. This turns noticeably savory through the finale, taking on hints of ginger and sour apple. This is a wonderfully satisfying glass of Prosecco. (Lot 19269)

Varietal

Champagne Blend

The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn’t unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as ‘blanc de blanc’, meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or ‘blanc de noir’, which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
