I admittedly benched my Sommariva Prosecco over the past year or so to explore lesser-known sparkling appellations in our portfolio. But a bottle I opened the other night not only charmed me, it provided the sensation of discovering something entirely new. Sommariva’s Prosecco seems to have gotten more excellent over the years. This misty, perfumed sparkler smells of juicy summer pear and delicate orange blossom with a striking note of bitter almond. I feel foolish to have abandoned it while dabbling in more novel bottles.
