In episode 253 of The Drinking Hour, host David Kermode is joined by Sarah Abbott MW to guide listeners through Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG, the highest level of quality in Prosecco wine, and debunk some of the myths and misconceptions about a category that can attract more than its fair share of criticism.
The pair begin by discussing the quality hierarchy for Prosecco, before moving on to the Martinotti production method and why some of the prejudices around it can be ignored. Innovation in the category and the range of sweetness levels are next on the agenda, followed by a section on the single-vineyard wines and the remarkable topography of these sites.
Regional identities, Conegliano Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore’s gastronomic appeal and bottle-fermentated Prosecco are also covered. Listen to the latest episode now to hear more about one of the world’s top regions for sparkling wine.
