Producer: Cantine Maschio
Residual sugar level: Brut, 10 g/l
Vintage: 2019
Price: £10-15
Medal: Gold in The Prosecco Masters 2020

This DOCG Prosecco hails from one of the region’s highly-rated vineyard areas, classified as Rive, and it’s not hard to see why this site, called Colbertaldo, was elevated to such rarified status. Packed with fresh orchard fruits and honeydew melon, and a lovely citrus zest character, it’s pure and bright, as well as juicy and ripe, and complemented by a lovely creamy-textured fizz. Quite dry by Prosecco standards, this fizz delivers more fresh fruit than sweetness, and represents a serious Prosecco for a surprisingly affordable price.
