Ottella Lugana le Creete 2022

"Very intense ruby red color, the nose reveals an enticing range of steeped cherry and fig cake flavors with accents of dried thyme, pomegranate and espresso. In the mouth it is creamy and with lightly firm tannins and acidity that’s just at the right level to accentuate and perpetuate the flavors. The whole tasting is embellished with a very pleasant tannic texture, which fades towards a spiced finish of excellent persistence." —winemaker

Blend: 50% Corvina, 30% Corvinone, 15% Rondinella, 5% Oseleta

"Intense, deep garnet red. Spicy nose of plum and cherry with a hint of raspberry. Soft, velvety, full bodied with a slight aromatic lingering aftertaste." —winemaker

"The Balvenie Distillery has been owned and managed by an independent family company for five generations. This has ensured that the Balvenie Distillery is still dedicated to the traditions, care and craftsmanship of malt whisky making. Nowhere else will you find a Distillery that still grows its own barley, that still malts its own traditional floor maltings, that still has coopers to tend the casks and that still has a coppersmith to tend the stills. From this distillery comes the Balvenie DoubleWood. Two casks of different character produce a deeper, more complex flavour and greater character than maturation in only one wood. During maturation, the Balvenie DoubleWood is transferred from a traditional whisky oak cask to an original sherry oak cask, thereby acquiring character from each cask. The result is a rich, mellow flavour of great depth and unusual complexity." —producer

"Nino Franco's non-vintage sparkling Rustico Prosecco is unquestionably the world's finest value in a high quality, Champagne look-alike. The non-vintage, light-bodied Prosecco di Valdobiaddene Rustico offers gorgeously elegant, fresh, lively fruit, notes of bread dough and citrus, and persistent effervescence." —winemaker

Wine Anthology Team Review-A fantastic prosecco for the money! From the best area of prosecco, Valdobiaddene, this bottle possesses everything a real prosecco lover would want : aromas of white spring flower, pear and citrus with flavors of crisp yellow apple, lemon drop and orange zest. Refreshing and silky on the palate, a perfect addition to any brunch! Cheers!
