Prosecco

The Bottom Line A dry Italian wine not to be missed!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

While most of us think of Italian wine, images of blood-red chianti in wicker covered bottles comes to mind. While it is true that Italy produces some of the finest red wines in the world, the residents of Venice prefer wines a little more delicate and dry. Prosecco, a sparkling white wine produced in the Veneto region, is the white wine of choice in Venice. Light, refreshing and a perfect compliment to the small sandwiches and finger foods that compose the Venetian lunch, prosecco has had trouble finding recognition outside of its home region.

So, what does this Venetian ambrosia taste like? The first thing that strikes the drinker is the light straw color and subtle bubbling of the wine. The nose is that of peach, vanilla and a slight touch of spice. Smooth on the tongue with a bit of a tickle, this is like no wine that you've ever tried before.
