Loris Follador is fortunate to have vines that are all aged 60 years or older. He uses the benefits of modern technology to make a wine that is similar in style to the Proseccos that existed before the fashion of fruit driven wines.
This will be a shock to people who drink the fresh, fizzy, grapey, floral and simple styles of Prosecco from Italy and Australia. Most of that style are really enjoyable, this wine though is unlike all of them. The wine is not disgorged after the second ferment, and the lees remain in the bottle, adding texture and complexity. It is funky, cloudy, only has about half of the pressure and is really complex. It is definitely a context wine but all the better for it. I would serve this with some firm cheese. Aging is not required but I’d be fascinated to see what it does.
Prosecco – Is the name of the region and grape variety used to make it in Italy. By using the cheaper charmat method to make the wines and in recent times pushing up the quality, the Italians have cornered the ‘poor person’s Champagne’ market. Look out of the variety to change name to Glera in the next few years.

Pretty, medium weight, and precise. Metrat Fleurie La Roilette is a joy to drink now; there are other Beaujolais to age, this one is to enjoy

Sparkling Wine, Champagne, and Seafood Dinner at Dakota 25th March
It has been a long time between shared drinks for a lot of us. I have not hosted a dinner since October 2019. I am keen to get out and share great food and great company. How about you?
Let’s not muck around either! Straight to the top shelf. Champagne, Sparkling wine, and three courses (plus canapes). I’m excited to be teaming up with Dakota for the first time, the menu they have prepared is going to elevate these wines to a new level.
