Alice Brut "Doro Nature" 2023 Valdobbiadene, Prosecco Superiore, Italy

Founded by Cinzia Canzian in 2004 and named after her grandmother's osteria, Le Vigne di Alice pioneered the Brut Nature style in Prosecco, becoming a favorite among sommeliers seeking a bone-dry alternative to traditional offerings. The Doro Nature comes from a single five-hectare vineyard near the Dolomites, where organic practices and native yeast fermentation create an artisanal expression that speaks purely of terroir. This is Prosecco for wine lovers who appreciate mineral-driven precision over sweetness.

Tasting Notes

Brilliant pale straw yellow with fine, persistent bubbles that dance elegantly in the glass. The nose bursts with aromas of green apple and quince, layered with delicate bread crust notes from extended lees aging and hints of white stone fruit blossom. On the palate, razor-sharp acidity carries flavors of crisp green apple, white peach, and wet river stone, while the wine's laser-like focus and mineral backbone from glacial moraine soils create a beautifully taut, bone-dry finish with subtle saline notes.

Food Pairings

Fresh oysters and crudo, herb-crusted white fish, aged Parmigiano-Reggiano, prosciutto di Parma
