Pale straw, vivid green youthful hue; tantalizing hints of fresh cut pear, citrus blossom and a mere suggestion of spice jump out and present themselves on the bouquet; the palate is soft, appealing, approachable and basically a whole lot of fun, with gentle bubbles and alcohol combining seamlessly, and offering the maximum amount of freshness for a drink early, enjoy and not necessarily in moderation style of sparkling wine; a spot on example of Prosecco.
Awards and Accolades
Nick Stock, The Age Good Wine Guide: A triumph for the Dal Zotto family, making the best of their King Valley location and Italian heritage. It’s a brilliant aperitif-style sparkling, with plenty of chalky lemon and apple. The palate delivers some gentle nutty, savoury flavours with fine, smooth and creamy-texture.
From the Winery
Pucino is the ancient Roman name for Prosecco. Dal Zotto recreate that ancient style here by using the charmat method to delivery a Prosecco of true richness and complexity that is perfectly suited to a wide array of occasions. Enjoy as an aperitif or alongside some freshly shucked oysters.
