San Martino dei Colli Trevigiani Frizzante Prosecco
Time for bubbles! Which, in my book, is any day that ends in "y." And while I'm something of a cava guy, one of the Proseccos I thoroughly enjoy is the San Martino dei Colli Trevigiani Frizzante Prosecco ($16). It's got a super-nice, lime-y nose, with citrus and pear flavors dancing around on the palate with some spritely acidity, melding into the mouthwatering finish. From a winery near Venice that was founded in 1918, this is a bracing, lively spring delight, by itself or in a bellini or mimosa. It also is perfectly suited to fried calamari, shrimp or most any fish or fowl, as well as spring greens, with or without pickled ramps.
Available at Cellars, Haskell's (Minnetonka, Chanhassen and White Bear Lake), Solo Vino, Winestreet, North Loop, On the Rocks and Vinifera.
