The unmistakable glow and torpical fruit of Glera in the glass and nose, healthy pfffft with fast-dying bubbles revealing a body thick and rich wiht passionfruit and mango. Elegantly cardboard-y in nose, a decided funk almost smoky, almost earthy, but not quite either. Sweet and rather concentrated on the palate, but showing the sort of restraint one would expect from a DOCG bottle. Not Champagne by a long shot but beautiful in its own way–with asterisks of both “Prosecco” and “extra dry” prevailing.
