Wine Matching
Hot Summers luncheon – well it has to be Sacchetto Prosecco. This is pure, unadulterated classic no-nonsense Prosecco. There’s a slice of pear, chunk of apple and spot of peach all working together in perfect fruity harmony, combined with small delicate bubbles and a wonderfully long, creamy finish.
