Barocco Prosecco Extra Dry NV (Italy)

Description

Floral, Melon, Off-dry

"The bouquet is elegant and inviting with nectarine, rockmelon, Gala apple and white floral aromas. The palate displays elegant weight, combined with fleshy texture and bright acidity, finishing lingering and tasty. A charming, crowd-pleasing style" Sam Kim, Wine Orbit, Nov 2024

"A classic Prosecco style with a core of pomaceous fruit flavours, just dry on the palate with a backbone of acidity and plush softer mousse frame. Flavours of apple and pears, a touch of sweet lemon and very fine lees layer. Balanced, well made and ready to drink from 2024 through 2028+" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier

An understated, subtle, fruity bouquet with notes of peach, green apple and lilac gives way to a charming, fresh, lively palate.

Since 1928, Botter has defined Italian winemaking, blending tradition and innovation to produce globally celebrated wines that embody the soul of Veneto. This brand is inspired by the 1600 Baroque movement, the same date when the first documented evidence of Prosecco was recorded. Like this wine Baroque was born in Italy and aimed to express the splendour and power of the Church and monarchies of that time. Similarly, this soft, sumptuous sparkling wine from the Botter family is perfect for celebrations. From the temperate Veneto region where the Glera variety is protected from the alpine winds and ripens perfectly on the clay sandstone soils. Soft pressed juice is cool-fermented then refermented using the Martinotti Charmat method. 

Food Pairing: Ideal as an aperitif , it also pairs with fish, shellfish and canapes.
