Pievalta Perlugo Zero Spumante
£19.75
A perfect palate cleanser between courses of a meal or as a refreshing tipple when you need a pick me up. The mouth is expressive and crisp with some yeasty notes but over all a zesty and fresh taste. Zero dosage (no added sugar)
- Best Prosecco Alternatives, Evening Standard, ‘Keeping things Italian, this organic Spumante – the blanket term for fully sparkling as opposed to the lighter Frizzante styles (Prosecco tends to fall into the former) – is made from 100 per cent Verdicchio grapes from the Marche region. With zero dosage – no added sugar – after the second fermentation, the flavours stand up on their own: enlivening notes of fresh citrus, baked bread and a mouthwateringly crisp, bone-dry finish.’ Nuria Stylianou, August 2017
- 17/20 – JancisRobinson.com ‘100% Verdicchio. Inviting leesy lemon nose. Assertive CO2 on the attack, then piercing fresh lemon fruit. Mouth-watering. Fine lasting prickle. Delicious.’ Walter Speller, August 2016

Dry delight
Very dry for a sparkling wine, but that made it enjoyable appetising for me. Good value

Super appetiser
The perfect aperitif to get your mouth watering
Pontipine –
Perfect with spicy food!
We had our first bottle of this at a special meal on Saturday, when it went perfectly with a very spicy meal. Two people who would normally have had a robust red wine, said this was an even better choice.
It was refreshing, complex and wonderful – all five of us thoroughly enjoyed it and would happily drink it the next time we have spicy food! Or even on its own, or with other savoury dishes.
A bargain in comparison with other similar wines.
