Desiderio Jeio Prosecco Brut

With the holidays behind us, it's time to enjoy … sparkling wine. Especially since it doesn't have to hit the wallet hard. The Desiderio Jeio Prosecco Brut ($15) is a great bottle of bubbles for any occasion, with fab florals, flavor and texture. Unlike many if not most Proseccos, which lean toward the sweet side, this one has nice ripeness but enough acidity to avoid heading down Treacly Lane. Another reason it's a timely option: This crisp Italian sparkler has loads of energy and can provide a lot of lift in wintry climes. Go for something salty or savory or sweet — in other words, just about anything — or just enjoy this gem on its own or in mimosas or bellinis.

Available at all Haskell's and France 44.
