Why We Love It...
This isn’t our first rodeo with offering Luna Prosecco, and it flies from the warehouse in huge numbers each time – which I can understand for an immaculately crafted, $13 bottle of 93-point Prosecco! A true Last Bubbles favorite that has converted legions of bubbly lovers to this delicious daily sipper. Luna happened to close its customer-facing winery doors in Napa back in 2020, but the wine has kept flowing, thank goodness! With new, spectacular releases that run the gamut of Italian pinot grigio, Tuscan sangiovese, and this delightful Prosecco from Veneto – Luna keeps hitting impressive marks, and we’re here for every step of the delightful ride!
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 the highly respected oenologist at Sassicaia, Graziana Grassini – she’s done stints at many other top brands…and…wait for it…she also makes this bubbly! She utilizes organic and sustainably farmed glera grapes, without any pesticide use, and they even use frogs for pest control in the vineyard (that was 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 an 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 and high-quality of 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, at once! 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 as we approach the upcoming warmer months! (I hope!)
Raise a glass (or two) to excellent bubbly at an unbelievable price!
