The RUGGERI 2017 Prosecco Conegliano DOCG Superiore Extra Dry is a sparkling wine that embodies the essence of the winemaking tradition of Valdobbiadene, a historic area for Prosecco. This vintage, characterized by favorable weather and a careful selection of Glera grapes, reveals itself in the glass with a brilliant golden hue and fine, persistent bubbles that dance in the flute.
On the nose, the RUGGERI opens with a fresh aromatic bouquet, where notes of white flowers, such as jasmine and rose, intertwine with hints of juicy fruit, including green apple and pear. A light touch of citrus, particularly lime and grapefruit, adds an intriguing vibrancy to the aromatic profile, making it extremely inviting.
On the palate, the Extra Dry offers a skillful balance between freshness and smoothness, with a subtle sweetness that does not overshadow the crisp acidity. Its structure is light yet not lacking in complexity, with a long and pleasant finish that beckons for another sip.
This Prosecco pairs beautifully with light appetizers, such as fish crostini, but also with dishes from Asian cuisine, like sushi or sashimi. If you are looking for a wine to accompany an aperitif or an elegant dinner, RUGGERI 2017 is undoubtedly the ideal choice. It is also perfect to enjoy on its own, for a refreshing break during a summer evening.
