FUSO + Col di Luna "Flora" Prosecco Brut, Veneto, Italy NV

FROM PORTOVINO:

THE WINE: Most Prosecco is usually made and confusingly labeled ‘Extra-Dry,’ which stands for a sugar level between 12-17 gr/l, resulting in sweet bubbles. If the wine is made ‘Brut,’ as Flora is, you get a dry wine (less than 2gr/l) with notes of green apple, asian pear, and fresh cut flowers. Col di Luna is a Prosecco producer at the foot of the Dolomites, in the Vittorio Veneto area of the Prosecco growing area, and they have a long family tradition of producing a zingy Brut Prosecco. Pairs well with all kinds of dishes, from aperitivo foods and light meals, to crudo and sushi. We love it with a bitter Radicchio Rosso combined with Borlotti beans made into a soup or hummus, a classic dish from the Veneto.

THE PRODUCER: FUSO is our project to search for and bottle Italy’s natural and characterful daily drinkers. We work with our farmer friends who are committed to working, low-intervention cellar methods, and terroir-driven wines.
