Val d'Oca NV VSAQ Extra Dry Prosecco (Italy)
- Best Buy
- $11
Despite the blue bottle, this is right on the money as extra dry (i.e. sweet) Prosecco goes. The nose features gardenia, citrus and mineral, while the melon and apple flavors are A1. A hint of green herb and scallion on the finish adds depth and complexity.

Moletto 2004 Brut Millesimato Pinot Bianco (Italy)
Thanks to its vertical aromatic delivery, you can enjoy this sparkler’s upfront fresh notes of green apple, peach, crushed white pepper and mineral. Beyond those is an extra layer of honey and toast thanks to some oak aging; bubbly effervescence adds a piquant touch on the palate backed by sweet fruit flavors.

Zardetto NV Brut Prosecco (Italy)

Here’s another terrific no-fuss Italian sparkler with a tight, tonic mouthfeel. There’s nice linearity and coherency to the aromas that recall stone fruit and lemon drop.

Foss Marai NV Cuvèe Brut White (Italy)
- $18
Slightly drier than your average extra dry, with aromas of soda crackers and sugared pastry. The palate deals apple and just-ripe nectarine along with notes of white pepper and citrus pith. Almost toasty in the end, with a shot of fresh celery. Imported by VinUS Inc.

Josef Weger 2004 Rodon Maso delle Rose 375ml White (Vino da Tavola)
- Online Exclusive
- $35
This concentrated and syrupy dessert wine opens with thick, slightly cloying aromas of candied fruit, white raisin, dried prune, maple and almond nut. It tastes sweet and heavy in the mouth, although there is a much-needed prickle of acidity on the close.

Zonin NV Special Cuvée Brut Prosecco (Italy)
- Best Buy
- $10
The best bubbly in the Zonin portfolio. The nose is yeasty, with moderate richness and enough apple and citrus to register. The palate features green melon, apple and toast, while the finish is mildly yeasty and fairly full. Satisfying as it fills the mouth. Imported by Zonin USA.
