La Tordera’s Brut Prosecco ends with spicy bubbling and firm effervescence. Before that, however, the wine offers drying aromas of stone fruit, lemon zest, talc powder and dried chopped herbs.

A creamy, voluptuous sparkler, this delivers sweet, peach fragrances with background notes of chopped basil, mango and kiwi. Pair it with smoked salmon canapés.

Delicate notes of white mineral and jasmine flower open this Prosecco from the famed Cartizze cru. The wine delivers sweet floral tones backed by peach and honeysuckle, yet just the right level of acidity kicks in at the end to keep the palate cool and refreshed.

This slightly sweet Cartizze sparkling wine offers a light, elegant bouquet that is redolent of stone fruit and white mineral. The wine’s foamy effervescence creates a smooth and creamy sensation in the mouth.

There’s a lot going on in the glass starting with lively perlage in the form of small, persistent bubbling. Also very enjoyable are the aromas, which recall white fruit, chopped sweet basil, almond blossom and soapy floral tones. The wine ends on a sweet note with mature pear flavors.

Although this is a mineral-driven wine with less fruit intensity overall, La Tordera’s Cartizze achieves beautiful balance and harmony. It has great intensity in the mouth thanks to its soft creamy froth and is packed tight with fruit flavors that ride long over the wine’s persistent finish.

There’s a pretty mineral note of brimstone or talc powder that runs straight though this luminous Prosecco. At the fringes are floral notes of jasmine and honeysuckle with a touch of sweet softness on the close.

Elegant floral notes come to the forefront of this well-priced sparkler followed by white mineral and dried herbs. In keeping with Prosecco tradition, the mouthfeel is light, crisp and tonic. This light style of wine drinks well with or without food.
