Pretty, classic, fizzy.
The Glera grapes that go into this dry Prosecco come mainly from Masi's Venetian Stra' del Milione estate.
Expect classic Prosecco notes of crunchy tree fruits, floral-scented talc, honey and warm line notes. It's fizzy and fruity, balanced and straightforward. Easy drinking, it's a pretty sparkler.
