Bele Casel is a small, artisanal winery which makes its Prosecco with fruit grown in the subdistricts of Santo Stefano and Sacol, largely considered the best source of Prosecco in the Valdobbiadene region. Extra dry.
87 points Fine Wine Review: "I continue to search in the U.S. for the charming, insouciant, slightly sweet, low alcohol Prosecco that I have become accustomed to in Italy. For the most part, I keep running into Champagne wannabes. For the time being, this is the closest I have come to the holy grail. This wine is offdry with both the austerity of a fine sparkling wine and the pear fruit of Prosecco, and the slightest bit of creaminess in texture. (Issue #118; 2007)"

Kosher. Produced in the Diano D'Alba region of Italy. It has a fresh and intense floral aroma. It reveals strong hints of peach and apricot. Ideal as an aperitif perfect served with cold starters and fish courses.

Producer notes: "Light but abundant bubbles with long lasting 'perlage'. Intense straw-yellow, nearly golden color. Aromatic, complex and intense. On the palate, sweet, pleasantly acidulous, with a long lingering flavor, round, bodied and velvety. An excellent dessert wine, it perfectly accompanies strawberries, cooked peaches filled with macaroons, jam tarts or hazelnut cakes."

90 points and 'Top 100 Wine of 2007 (#75)' Wine Spectator: "A delicate, well-balanced Prosecco, showing a good blend of baked apple, sour lemon and grapefruit, with a lightly creamy mineral texture on the palate. Medium froth, with some body and a pleasant lemon and mineral finish. Best Values. (4/30/07)"
Wall Street Journal: "This was one of the fruitiest and one of the most aromatic of the group--marked by notes of melon and citrus. 'A good breakfast Prosecco,' said Le Bernardin wine director Aldo Sohm. (6/12/10)"

88 points Wine Spectator: "[$19 list] Subtle, with a delicate bead and well-honed acidity supporting hints of pear, peach, vanilla, blackberry and candied lemon peel. Fresh and lively through to the zesty, lingering finish. Drink now through 2015. (9/30/12)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The NV Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Rustico is a rather exuberant yet steely, powerful Prosecco. White peaches, crushed rocks, smoke and flowers are some of the nuances that flow from this large-scaled, important Prosecco. A rich, textured finish rounds things out nicely. The Rustico is far from an easy-going cocktail wine, and is sure to be better at the table than on its own. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. (Feb 2011)"
90 points Wine & Spirits: "Crisp apple flavors carry through this clean, vinous Prosecco, lending it the freshness of mountain snow and edelweiss. It's simple, focused along a tight stream of bubbles. A fine aperitif. (Aug 2011)"
Wall Street Journal: "This clean, bright, fairly light-bodied and very dry Prosecco is elegance in a glass. It's as close to Champagne--at this price--as Prosecco will get. A unanimous favorite. (6/12/10)"

The same Prosecco that's poured at Osteria Mozza.
90 points Wine & Spirits: "There's a hint of complexity in the interplay between this wine's gentle sweetness and crisp acidity, like biting into a freshly picked ripe pear. It's lean and focused, a match for warm goat cheese on crostini. (Dec 2009)"
89 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "[$19 list] The NV Extra Dry Prosecco di Valdobbiadene from Sorelle Bronca shows off lovely varietal character and a crisp, refreshing finish laced with green apples and flowers. This is Lot 0155. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2012. (Feb 2011)"
88 points Wine Enthusiast: "There's a soft, creamy element to the nose of this Extra Dry Prosecco that is surrounded by pretty aromas of peach, melon and passion fruit. The mouthfeel is rich, foamy and smooth. abv: 11%. (12/31/11)"
San Francisco Chronicle: "Sisters Antonella and Ersilana Bronca founded this winery in the mid-1980s. More residual sugar makes this wine definitely off-dry. Sweeter aromas and flavors - ripe grapefruit, apple and pear - in this well-made wine will appeal to those who prefer the style. (5/3/09)"

90 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The estate’s NV Extra Dry Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Particella 68 possesses both more richness and minerality than the Extra Dry. This is a decidedly rich style of Prosecco, with suggestions of peaches, apricots and flowers that are layered into an elegant, refined frame. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2013. (Feb 2011)"
90 points Wine Enthusiast: "Particella 68 is a particularly fine and focused Prosecco with delicate aromas of white flower and fresh peach. There's a touch of sweetness in the mouth that gives the perlage a thicker, smoother feel. abv: 11%. (12/31/11)"

88 points Antonio Galloni (Wine Advocate): "The NV Prosecco Brut is a richer, creamier wine than the Brut Cuvee Private. Here the fruit tends towards ripe yellow peaches, with flowers, spices and minerals that add complexity. The finish is long, generous and nicely balanced. (Aug 2010)"
