Sparkling wine | Veneto, Italy
Allow me to introduce you to the enchanting Casa Coller Cuvée Vittoria Extra Dry Millesimato, a sparkling gem hailing from the picturesque Veneto region of Italy. This isn't just any Prosecco; it's an experience, a celebration bottled for your enjoyment. Casa Coller, a winery deeply rooted in tradition and passionate about quality, crafts this sparkling wine with meticulous care, ensuring every sip is a testament to the region's terroir and the winery's dedication.
This Cuvée Vittoria is made primarily from Glera grapes, the quintessential grape of Prosecco, known for its aromatic character and ability to produce wines with finesse and vibrancy. As an 'Extra Dry' Prosecco, it presents a delightful balance of subtle sweetness and crisp acidity, making it incredibly versatile and appealing to a wide range of palates. The 'Millesimato' designation indicates that this is a vintage Prosecco, meaning the grapes were harvested in a single year, further enhancing its character and complexity.
Imagine the gentle effervescence dancing on your tongue, releasing a symphony of aromas. Expect a bouquet brimming with fresh fruit notes – think crisp green apple, juicy pear, and a hint of white peach. Delicate floral nuances, like acacia blossoms, add a touch of elegance, while a subtle minerality provides a refreshing counterpoint. The finish is clean, crisp, and invigorating, leaving you wanting more.

But let's talk about food pairings because this is where the Cuvée Vittoria truly shines. Its versatility makes it an ideal partner for a wide array of dishes. Start with appetizers like prosciutto-wrapped melon, delicate seafood ceviche, or creamy burrata with grilled vegetables. It's also fantastic with sushi, light salads, and creamy pasta dishes.
