Why We Love It...
Here’s a fun fact that’s going to tie in back to this awesome Prosecco. Ever heard of Sassicaia? Of course you have! It was the first Italian wine to receive 100 points from Robert Parker. Well, enter Graziana Grassini. She’s the highly respected oenologist at Sassicaia, and she’s done stints at many other top brands…and…wait for it…she also makes this bubbly! If it seems too good to be true, we get it, truly. So we triple-checked and then checked again, and the facts checked out! She utilizes organic and sustainably farmed glera grapes here, without any pesticide use, and they even use frogs for pest control in the vineyard (that’s a new one for us too)!
The end result? Beautiful bubbles and a thick, stable mousse that bursts and rolls in the glass – delivering aromas of honeysuckle, jasmine, peonies, and alyssum, like some ambrosial perfume of some ancient deity. And then, an explosion of fruits – green apple, apricot, tangerine, golden plums, crisp pears…oh, my! A finishing touch of heavy cream and honeyed almonds – plus the gentlest kiss of sweetness that is never cloying or forthcoming, just perfect. Graziana opted for a drier-than-average style of Prosecco – one with a Brut dosage level of 6.5 g/L as opposed to what’s more typical of your sweet and overtly perfumed Prosecco standard, which hovers far higher between 10 and 14 g/L.
This is as dry as a Prosecco as you'll readily find, with all the rich, fruity, and fresh floral character, and none of the sticky, gooey sweetness that leaves you hating life the morning after. For the insurmountable price of only $13? House bubbles worthy, for sure! This is a Luna deal for the ages that we’re certainly stocking up on yet again – and simply the perfect opportunity to build out your stores for the remainder of the year!
