The global bargain in the familiar matte-black bottle is unfairly overlooked, I think, by today's fashion-conscious prosecco crowd. Fact is, it's made like Champagne (unlike the vast majority of proseccos) and slays most of its $15 Italian counterparts. It's chalky and crisp, but with a sweet core of lemon and well balanced, with pinpoint-fine bubbles.
