The estate’s NV Extra Dry Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Particella 68 possesses both more richness and minerality than the Extra Dry. This is a decidedly rich style of Prosecco, with suggestions of peaches, apricots and flowers that are layered into an elegant, refined frame. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. Importer: Polaner Selections, Mt. Kisco, NY; tel. (914) 244-0404

Wild flowers, stone fruit and citrus mark the nose of this very characteristic Prosecco bubbly. Pretty mineral notes fill in the background and the wine manages to be drying in the mouth and slightly sweet at the same time. This sparkler shows a deft hand when it comes to elegance and balance.——M.L.(7/1/2009)—— 90
