The Wine People, ‘Dea del Mare’ Prosecco Extra Dry, NV, Prosecco (DOC)

'One-Liner'
A soft and easy-going Prosecco with ripe orchard fruit, delicate flowers and gentle bubbles – fresh, lightly off-dry and made for raising a glass.

Tasting Note
Pale straw in colour with a fine, lively mousse, opening with golden apple, ripe pear and honeydew melon alongside delicate white flowers and a touch of candied lemon. Light and softly rounded on the palate, with a subtle sweetness bringing generosity to the orchard fruit while crisp acidity keeps everything fresh and balanced. A gently pithy citrus note adds definition to the smooth, clean finish.
