Forget the pandemic with five ultimate Proseccos

1. Bisol1542, Cartizze Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG dry, 2019

The style: Caritzze, Vintage, Dry

The medal: Master, Prosecco Masters 2020 and 2019

The price: Approx £50

Sugar content: 25g/l

The taste: A ripe, peachy, gently zesty and floral nose, with nothing overt, but complex, and inviting. The palate is deliciously sweet, but not saccharine, with ripe notes of pear, peach and then lovely fresh lemon and orange blossom too. Layered, powerful, creamy-textured but refreshing, it gives an impression of dryness on the finish. A very long, very pure and very fine prosecco, which combines richness with zestiness, making it hard not to drink. It would be particularly good with an apple / pear tart or blue cheese.
