The 2010 Dry Prosecco Valdobbiadene Superiore Vigneto Giardino reveals striking purity and vibrancy in its white peaches, flowers and hints of slate. Although the residual sugar is higher than the norm – hence the Dry designation – that isn’t really felt to a great degree. What comes through most is the wine’s impeccable balance and class.

The 2009 Prosecco Dry Superiore Vigneto Giardino is made in a more overt style. Minerality takes a back seat to a decidedly up-front expression of ripe peaches and flowers. The Giardino also has the highest residual sugar of these offerings, which comes through in the wine's weight and richness. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2011. Importer: Dalla Terra, Napa, CA; tel. (707) 259-5405

This Prosecco opens with a thick layer of creamy froth and aromatic layers of white flower, stone fruit and citrus. The combination of tonic bubbles and sweet fruit flavors makes it appropriate for lightly fried appetizers or delicate fish.——M.L.(7/1/2009)—— 88
