-3%You know that bottle that just makes the night feel like something? This is it. Pop the gold cap, listen for the fizz, and you get a glass of fine bubbles tasting of ripe apple and pear with a little citrus lift. It's Extra Dry, which sneakily means off-dry, so there's a whisper of fruit-sweetness that goes down easy without ever feeling sugary. Brunch, a birthday, a Friday that earned itself, a spritz on the balcony. Say the word and we'll have it cold at your door.
Pale straw with little green flickers, and the bubbles are tiny and steady, the fancy kind that tickle rather than fizz-bomb you. Nose first: ripe apple and pear, a squeeze of lemon and grapefruit, then a soft floral thing like acacia and wisteria sitting underneath. On the palate it's creamy and smooth, fruit up front, then a clean, fresh snap of acidity that wipes the slate and makes you want the next sip. Light on its feet, never heavy.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes from Pitars, a family winery in Friuli-Venezia Giulia up in Italy's northeast, run today by the Pittaro family (Pitars is just their name in the local Friulian dialect). Their vines sit on the gravelly banks of the Tagliamento, often called the last wild, untamed river in Europe, which gives the grapes great drainage and that fresh edge. It's 100% Glera, the classic Prosecco grape, and 'Millesimato' means it's from a single year's harvest rather than a blend of several, a small step up in care.
