This is yet another shining example as to just why the Italian powers that be finally allowed Prosecco Rosé to be a thing. The Terra Viniza is a silky, seductive number with attractive notes of ripe strawberry and a lovely peachy character, framed by a welcome bitter, herbal note. There is a lovely creamy element to the mouthfeel here, it is rich and generous, this is pretty serious kit.

We discovered Azienda Agricola Casere on a recent trip to Italy, where we were immediately impressed by the quality of their brilliant wine portfolio which ranges from impressive varietal table wines to top-quality Prosecco from the Veneto region. The estate covers around 150 hectares of vines located in the land around San Stino di Livenza, in the province of Venice. 2022 marks the 100th birthday of Casere and a century of winemaking has taught the team a thing or two about producing quality wine in this part of the world. They have been quick to recognise the potential of more international varieties, with significant plantings of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Chardonnay as well as more local varieties Pinot Grigio and Refosco (a red grape). For us, it was their textural Pinot Grigio that stole the show on the still wine side of things. However the jewel in Casere's crown is their DOCG Lison Pramaggiore made 100% from the Friulano grape variety, this DOCG is arguably the best expression of this grape.
