There is plenty to love about this delightful wine from Valsé. From top to bottom, this fizz is laced with sweet red berry character, keen acidity and vivacity, with a hedonistic drop of sweetness on the finish (but it's still reasonably dry).

The Veneto is the kind of place that ruins you for everywhere else - ancient vines, dramatic landscapes and a winemaking culture so deeply embedded it's practically in the water. Valsé calls this corner of north-east Italy home, and it shows in every glass. Their approach is rooted in a genuine respect for the land: working with the region's finest varieties, letting the terroir do the heavy lifting and staying out of the way just enough to let something genuinely special emerge. The result is a range of wines that feel both timeless and completely alive: full of regional character, made with care and absolutely built for enjoying. There's no pretension here, just a quiet confidence that comes from knowing your land, your craft and exactly what makes a great bottle of wine. The sort of producer that makes you want to learn Italian, book a flight and never come back.
