Bele Casel, Veneto,
Drink now,
Bele Casel is an artisan Prosecco producer; family-run, their small 10-hectare estate lies in a fiercely protected subzone called Asolo, where a key limestone element gives the wines a fragrant white-peach character.
Prosecco is the perfect summer fizz, and this is an excellent example, with beautifully defined white peach and pear fruit, and a caressing rather than aggressive mousse. The Ferraro family make this wine in the classic “spumante” style, adding just enough cane sugar at the second fermentation stage to provide the bubbles and leave a well-judged 16g per litre of sugar (hence the “Extra Dry” rather than more austere “Brut” designation) that accentuates the fruit and acts as a foil to the natural acidity of the wine. Making a Bellini with this wine, whilst undoubtedly delicious, is almost a crime when it is so good “naked”.
A deliciously soft and spritely white flower and greengage-fruited Prosecco with perfectly interwoven 16g residual sugar, so finishing off-dry.

Trevisiol L. e Figli,
Drink now,
Prosecco is not generally revered for its status, albeit slightly unfairly. That said, the Valdobbiadene region is regarded as one of the best sources of Prosecco grapes, coming from vineyards 300 metres above sea-level. Here, the Glera (previously Prosecco) grape is blended with 15 percent Chardonnay by father-and-son team Eduardo and Paolo Trevisiol. The family tradition looks set to continue for many years to come, with Paolo’s son Dario already eyeing up his grandfather’s shoes as winemaker.

Prosecco is Italy's most famous sparkling wine produced mainly in the wine appellations of Conegliano and Valdobbiadene in the region of Veneto which are the only DOC- level zones for ‘Prosecco’.
Prosecco is also the name of the grape that forms the basis of the eponymous sparkling wine and many of the best examples contain 100% Prosecco, although Verdiso, Perera and Bianchetta grape varieties which are considered to be of lesser stature, can be used up to a maximum of 15% .
Prosecco grape is distinguished by its aromatics of lemon and green apples, and its subtle flavours of white peaches, freshly picked flowers and notes of yeastiness. The base wine is made using the Charmat method.
Prosecco Superiore di Cartizze DOC encompasses the steepest hills in the Prosecco di Valdobbiadene district which deliver the most intense, complex styles of Prosecco sparkling wine.
