If you’ve never heard of DOCG prosecco, you’re not alone, said Michael Franz in WineReviewOnline.com. The subcategory was created in 2009 to distinguish the best Italian proseccos from those produced on flatter terrain nearby, but few consumers notice it. You should, though—because DOCG wines have exceptional structure, and their makers won’t last if drinkers buy only higher-volume rivals.
2012 Cuvée del Fondatore Graziano Merotto($15). “One of the most striking proseccos that I’ve ever tasted,” this wine has such fine bubbles, it almost feels creamy.
