96/100 & Gold Medal – Decanter World Wine Awards, October 2017
A deliciously dry style and a staff favourite here at Vino Fino, a more highly awarded Prosecco would be hard to find. Masottina Prosecco Brut has picked numerous awards over the years inclucing being judged No.1 Sparkling Wine from over 600 entries from 20 countries at the 16th annual Effervescents Du Monde 2018 held in Dijon, France. This comes on top of a 96 point Gold Medal score at the Decanter World Wine Awards 2017.
"A very classy Prosecco". These are the words of Steven Spurrier, one of the world’s leading wine critics and Chairman Emeritus of the Decanter World Wine Awards (DWWA), speaking of Masottina’s Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut which received a Gold Medal in the prestigious competition organized by one of the most authoritative international publications dedicated to wine, with a score of 96/100. An important achievement for a Prosecco DOC and for the Dal Bianco family, among Italy’s most distinguished representatives of this winemaking art.
According to Steven Spurrier, Masottina’s Prosecco DOC Treviso Brut possesses a “very intense, deep nose with notes of pear, peach, elderflower and almond. This flows onto a mineral-drenched palate with touches of eucalyptus. Great length and depth of flavour."
Winery notes (NV)
"Delicate straw yellow in colour, enhanced by fine, lingering perlage. Golden Delicious apples, pink grapefruit and limes are clearly distinguished on the nose; to these are added the more delicate hints of pears and plums, together with wisteria flowers. Soft and silky, in the mouth it develops the pleasant freshness of fruit straight off the tree."
Best Buy, Jeff Porter, Wine Enthusiast, January 2024 (NV)
"Aromas of white peach, apricot, and acacia flower introduce this sparkler. The palate bursts with green-apple, peach-candy, and pear flavours, underscored by a zesty lemon edge. Its fine bubbles and bright acidity provide a clean and invigorating finish."
No.1 Champion Sparkling Wine, Effervescents Du Monde 2018 (NV)
Effervescents Du Monde is a qualitative competition for the Best sparkling Wines in the World, held in Dijon, 2018 was the 16th year of this annual competition. 600 + sparkling wines entered, from more than 20 countries with more than 100 international expert judges, including 50% from outside France. 'Elegant, fresh and sincere. Reminiscent of citrus fruit: lemons, grapefruit, green mandarins and limes. The aroma then gathers into almost palpable hints of apples; clear at first but with surprising varietal notes that give the freshness of green apples and the soft sweetness of quinces. It ends up with light hints of mint and fresh unripe almonds'.
