NV Mille Bolle Prosecco, Italy 'Extra Dry' White Sparkling Wine

Mille Bolle — which translates to a million bubbles in Italian — stands as a symbol not only of that passion, but also of the energy and excitement that define the Prosecco growing area in Italy’s Veneto region. That’s why the sparkling wine is housed in a distinctive bowling pin-shaped bottle — a collector’s item you’ll want to keep and display long after the last bubble has tickled your nose.

Veneto is an increasingly important wine region in the northeastern corner of Italy. It represents a transition between the alpine, German-Slavic end of the country and the warmer, drier lands to the south.

While Prosecco often is compared to Champagne, it’s made with different grapes (Glera) and a different cellar method (known as Charmat). But the results are stunningly similar, as the fresh, smooth and long-finishing Mille Bolle “Extra Dry” demonstrates.
