Two new 'grower' prosecco's on the wine list now from
Le Vigne di Alice:
-DORO Brut Prosecco 2013- single vineyard elegant deliciousness voted best prosecco of the year by L'Espresso's 2013 wine guide (Italy's best wine journal)
-OSE Rosato Brut 2013- a pink bubbly- Ose means 'Risque' and the winemaker breaks the rules by adding 10% Merzimino grape to the mix (by law DOCG prosecco must me made from 100% Glera grape).
These fine Proseccos are sustainably produced by two sister's in law in the northern part of the Veneto- They are vintage prosecco from 2013- they drink much like fine champagne. Sparkling wines are PERFECT pairing with food! Try them tonight!
