Terra Batista Spumante Prosecco 2018
Flavor Profile
There’s a reason Prosecco is one of the most popular wines in the world. Whether you’re welcoming guests, toasting a special occasion, or just feeling bubbly, Prosecco really is the perfect sparkler to get a party started. And this elegant exclusive is our latest favorite find.
It hails from winemaker Cristian Tombacco and his historic family estate in the heart of prime Prosecco country in Italy’s Veneto region. Cristian actually named Terra Batista after his grandfather, Batista, who established the winery in 1919. Two generations later, Cristian upholds his grandfather’s quality standards with his dazzlingly delicious ‘Extra Dry’ release (this style is a bit sweeter than those labeled Brut, but it’s still crisp and super fresh).
Look for fine streams of bubbles and ripe, citrus- and orchard-fruit flavors—as perfectly suited for jovial toasts, as it is with gently spicy cuisine, cheesy snacks, or even sushi take out.
