Review: NV Zardetto Prosecco Brut DOC
Zardetto is based “in the heart of the Prosecco territory,” between Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, where it’s been producing sparkling wine for more than 40 years.
This nonvintage Brut bottling has a moderate to high level of carbonation; the expected fruit flavors of fig and ripe banana are well-represented on the palate. Creamy as it develops on the tongue, the wine develops a bold sweetness on the finish, a combination of of peaches in cream, strawberry, and lemon curd. It’s effusive and fun on its own, but I find it works best as a cocktail ingredient.
