Corte Giovanni Frizzante Prosecco

I suppose to most people, Prosecco is all the same. But it’s not. There are all styles of the wine, especially as it has grown to dominance within the everyday sparkling wine category. Though we once called the grape Prosecco, we now use the more traditional name of Glera, and Prosecco refers to the area of northern Italy where Glera is grown and made. In this case, it’s a frizzante style that you can think of as fizzy Prosecco.

Corte Giovanni Extra Brut Prosecco

Though Prosecco is made throughout the northeastern Italian regions of Veneto and Friuli, there are two areas that produce wines with more vibrancy and complexity to them and that are solely elevated to DOCG status as a result: Conegliano-Valdobbiadene and Colli Asolani. A very dry version of Prosecco (the meaning of Extra Brut) is as modern as it gets, but it reflects the growing awareness of Colli Asolani as producing wines.

Chateau Courac Cotes du Rhone

We might presume that most of the top Old World sites are multi-generational legacies, remaining in the hands of ossified aristocrats served by dedicated minions. I suppose that’s true in some places. But most of the exciting things happen in Europe are the result of new blood; new folks like Joséphine and Frédéric Arnaud who took over this property in 1995. Northwest of Châteauneuf-du-Pape, the Arnauds have more than 200 acres of Syrah, Grenache and Mourvèdre, the latter a grape that has only, in the last two or three decades, become more typical of Côtes du Rhone blends. Again, it helps to add some new blood to these old places.
