Why this wine matters
A successful Wine of the Day calendar needs wines people might actually buy for a birthday, brunch or Friday night. This fills that role while also introducing the higher-tier Prosecco Superiore category.
How it is made
The style is based on Glera and tank-method sparkling winemaking, preserving fruit and floral character rather than building the long yeast-ageing flavours associated with traditional-method Champagne.
What does it taste like?
Orchard fruit, floral notes and lemony freshness lead, with a gentle extra-dry softness rather than bone-dry austerity.
Serve it well
Serve at about 7–9°C in a tulip-shaped sparkling glass rather than freezing it numb.
