Ruggeri Giustino B. Extra Brut Valdobbiadene Superiore
Prosecco DOC / DOCG, Italy
About this product
Named after founder Giustino Bisol, this Extra Brut (< 6 g/L RS) is a revelation for those who associate Prosecco only with sweetness. From Cartizze-adjacent vineyards in Valdobbiadene, the wine offers: fine mousse, fresh green apple, lemon zest, white pear, and a dry, mineral, almost saline finish. Demonstrates that Glera can produce wine of true gastronomic ambition.
