You don't need a reason. You pour it, the fine bubbles race up the glass, and suddenly the night feels a little brighter. Ponte Villoni is a proper Italian Prosecco from Veneto, soft and fruity with green apple and pear, and just enough sweetness to make everyone happy. Whether it's a birthday, a brunch, or a 'we made it through the week' on a Thursday, this is the bottle you want chilling and ready.
Stick your nose in and you get peach, fresh apple and a whiff of citrus, with a soft floral lift behind it. The first sip is all juicy green apple and ripe pear, light on its feet, with a fine fizz that tickles rather than bites. It finishes clean with a gentle hint of sweetness. That's the 'Extra Dry' talking, which (confusingly) means a touch sweeter than Brut, not bone dry. Easy to love, easy to keep pouring.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
This comes out of Veneto in northern Italy, where the Glera grape has been turned into sparkling wine for over 300 years. It carries the DOC stamp, which is Italy's way of saying the region and the rules were followed properly. The bubbles are made by the Charmat method, where the wine takes its second fermentation in big stainless steel tanks rather than inside each bottle. That tank method is exactly why Prosecco tastes so fresh and fruity instead of bready like Champagne.
