Prosecco Superiore Brut
Sommariva![- Kermit Lynch Wine Merchant](https://s3.amazonaws.com/efcheckout/kermitlynch/products/Kermit-Lynch-Wine-Merchant-Prosecco-Superiore-Brut-product-image-5926-medium.jpg)
I admittedly benched my Sommariva Prosecco over the past year or so to explore lesser-known sparkling appellations in our portfolio. But a bottle I opened the other night not only charmed me, it provided the sensation of discovering something entirely new. Sommariva’s Prosecco seems to have gotten more excellent over the years. This misty, perfumed sparkler smells of juicy summer pear and delicate orange blossom with a striking note of bitter almond. I feel foolish to have abandoned it while dabbling in more novel bottles.

2021 Colli Trevigiani Merlot

Unlike the opulent, Cassis-scented Merlots from Bordeaux’s Right Bank, this rendition—with its pretty notes of brambly wild berries and hints of spice—shows the more mineral, ethereal side of the grape.
About The Producer
Sommariva
About The Region
Veneto
Italy’s most prolific wine region by volume, the Veneto is the source of some of the country’s most notorious plonk: you’ll find oceans of insipid Pinot Grigo, thin Bardolino, and, of course, the ubiquitous Prosecco. And yet, the Veneto produces the highest proportion of DOC wine of any Italian region: home to prestigious appellations like Valpolicella, Amarone, and Soave, it is capable of excelling in all three colors, with equally great potential in the bubbly and dessert departments.
With almost 200,000 acres planted, the Veneto has a wealth of terroirs split between the Po Valley and the foothills of the Alps. While the rich soils of the flatlands are conducive to mechanization, high yields, and mass production of bulk wine, the areas to the north offer a fresher climate and a diversity of poor soil types, ideal for food-friendly wines that show a sense of place. Whether it’s a charming Prosecco Superiore from the Glera grape, a stony Soave or Gambellara from Garganega, or a Corvina-based red in any style, the Veneto’s indigenous grape varieties show real character when worked via traditional production methods.
Since his first visit in 1979, Kermit has regularly returned to the Veneto to enjoy its richness of fine wines and local cuisine. Our collaboration with Corte Gardoni, our longest-running Italian import, is a testament to this. The proximity of beautiful cities like Verona and Venice, with their deep culinary heritage, certainly doesn’t hurt, either.

You don’t have to be rich to cellar a great wine.
