Dal Zotto Pucino Prosecco, King Valley

This is the OG – the one that started the whole crazy, controversial movement towards prosecco in this country. It brings energy, zest, plenty of bubbly attitude and a just-glad-to-be-alive vivacity that can't fail to excite. Flavours are bright in red apple, lemon zest, quince and tart grapefruit, with acidity running bright and pristine. Don't overthink it, just enjoy.

Junior sibling to this King Valley winery's flagship prosecco, the Pucino is crisp and zesty with a hint of apple; a lively, inviting aperitif. A great Australian version of an Italian classic. 'The Dal Zotto family has decided to make this wine one of their mainstays, and they've delivered an impressive, zesty style that has plenty of appeal as an aperitif or partly filler. There's plenty of fresh cut pear and apple fruit here - really pure and even. The palate is smooth and finely stated, with delicious, gently creamy texture.
