Here are the four wines I tasted:
Non Vintage Ca' Furlan Prosecco
"For the price, this wine is a damn success. It hits all the right notes for a DOC Prosecco. The nose has slight floral aromas with a hint of poached apples. The palate is very refreshing, with casual bubbles and great balanced fruit. You could trick some folks into thinking it costs more."
Non Vintage Zardetto Prosecco Brut Z Non Vintage
"Fresh and sapid. Pleasantly acidic thanks to the citrus note enhanced by the flavour of green apple." - Winery
Non Vintage Issimo Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Docg Extra Dry
"Direct from the Veneto region, this sparkling white wine is produced in the Heart of the Prosecco producing region in the town of Refrontolo. It is made from 100% Glera grapes that are fermented and then refermented to preserve their organoleptic quality. The second fermentation employs the “Martinotti” method, also known by the French name “Charmat.” Ideal as an aperitif, with appetizers of savoury pies, canapes and throughout the meal, first courses and fish dishes." - Winery
2022 Silvano Follador Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Extra Brut
"The wine is an ‘extra brut’ with no residual sugar, a decision we intentionally made to enhance the original flavor and achieve a natural balance between acidity, sapidity and structure." - Winery
