I invited a few friends over to single-blind taste through five different Proseccos from Mionetto. I'd never had anything from this producer, but I liked the idea of tasting the wines all together, from entry-level to the more highly esteemed Cartizze DOCG.
NV Mionetto Prosecco di Treviso Brut 84 Points
Italy, Veneto, Prosecco di Treviso
Light gold color. Aromas of white peach, nectarine and sugar cane. Juicy white peach and guava nectar on the palate, some honey and waxy elements. Simple, fresh, clean, with sugar cane notes on the finish.

NV Mionetto Prosecco Il Prosecco 86 Points
Italy, Veneto / Friuli-Venezia Giulia, Prosecco
Peachy-keen on the nose, with white flowers and apple sauce notes. Showing a lot of crispness on the palate, with green apple and nectarine, some slight seashell and minerals on the finish. Interesting mineral notes add some complexity. Bottled under crown cap closure.

Crisp green apples on the nose, green melon along with white peach and guava. Juicy on the palate, with notes of cotton candy and saline mixing in with the green melon and apple fruit. Fun, crowd-pleasing stuff.

Italy, Veneto, Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG
Stony on the nose, with white flowers, green melon and some green apple peel. On the palate, the grapefruit, nectarine and peach fruit is laced with nuts, yellow and white flowers, waxy notes, slate, saline and minerals. Tangy, clean and fresh with lasting minerals on the finish

NV Mionetto Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze Dry 88 Points
Italy, Veneto, Prosecco di Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze
Pale lemon and onion skin color. Deep minerals and sea shells on the nose along with melon and peach. Creamy palate with fine bubbles and flavors of salt and clover to accent the green melon, nectarine and peach fruit. Zesty, quite complex with notes of cheese rind, honey and clover. One of the more complex Proseccos I’ve tasted. From the higher elevation, mineral rich vineyard of Cartizze. ($35)
