Ruggeri Giustino Prosecco Superiore Valdobbiadene (75cl, 11.5%)

Ruggeri Giustino is a Prosecco Superiore from the Valdobbiadene-Conegliano DOCG in Veneto, Italy, made from 100% Glera and bottled at 11.5% ABV. It is the flagship cuvée of Ruggeri & C. Srl. The wine undergoes slow secondary fermentation in large pressurised tanks at 14–15°C, followed by extended lees ageing of about five months. This longer lees contact builds textural richness and aromatic complexity. The nose shows honeysuckle, hawthorn blossom, ripe pear, yellow peach, apricot, acacia honey and green apple. The palate is broad and gently sparkling, with green apple, white peach, candied lemon, pink grapefruit and acacia flower. The finish closes on white almond with yellow apple and citrus pith.
