RECOMMENDE­D PROSECCO

-

Tiamo Prosecco. Soft and creamy with a gentle fizz that carries waves of apple and honey, this extra dry prosecco was made from certified organic grapes grown both in and around the town of Valdobbiad­ene. $15

Martini & Rossi Prosecco. Pear and tiny whiffs of anise give way to a pleasant minerality in this extra dry refresher with aggressive bubbles to wake up your mouth and scrub your palate clean after every bite. $15

The White Knight Prosecco Brut. This one starts with floral, powdered sugar candy aromas and proceeds to a clean citrusy finish, with lively, persistent bubbles. Certainly good with food but fun to drink on its own, too. $15

Zardetto Prosecco Brut. Floral and peachy, this wine ups the sweetness and alcohol (11.5 percent) just a touch but sill finishes crisply. Its bubbles are more frothy than individual­ly zingy, resulting in a creamy mouthfeel. $16

Zonin Prosecco Grey. Part of the White/Grey/Black Dress Code series from Zonin, this one comes in an opaque silvery bottle, delivering minerality, salinity, spice and bright fruitiness from its inclusion of 13 percent pinot grigio. $17

Carpene Malvolti 1868 Extra Dry. A hint of smoke and minerality lead to layers of toast and lemon in this complex Conegliano-Valdobbiad­ene D.O.C.G. sparkler. This wine is worth every coin you find in the sofa, and many more. $19

2014 Adriano Adami Col Credas Brut Rive di Farra di

Soligo. “Adami Col Credas” are the words to remember when you are shopping for this single-vineyard Conegliano-Valdobbiad­ene D.O.C.G. wine, which starts with flowers and apples, and ends with fresh lemons. $22

2014 Bisol Crede Brut. From the Conegliano-Valdobbiad­ene D.O.C.G., this is another vintage prosecco, but it says so only in the fine print. Expect pear and bread aromas to lead to apple flavors, with a soft mouthfeel and a crisp, citrus finish. $25
