Reviewed June 2018The 2016 Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore Brut Nature is a delicate sparkling wine that offers a subtle succession of white flower, citrus and honeydew melon aromas. The various aromas blend together with smooth unity. The wine's appearance is translucent and very bright with lots of inner light. This wine is refined in cement vats for six months.

During our visit to this winery in 2016, Alberta Follador mentioned that her brother Silvano was a perfectionist. This was hardly a surprise to me as Follador is the finest Prosecco I've come across. While most of the Prosecco hitting the market is made in an Extra Dry (slightly sweet) style, Follador is a Brut (dry) which makes it not only somewhat unique but also in a class all its own. It really is that good.
Notes
Just a note to clear up some nomenclature issues with this brand: Silvano Follador has added an extra word to their label, "Nature." It means that the finished wine has less than 3 grams per liter of residual sugar, even though their wines are Brut, and Brut can be decidedly higher. Nature is a designation that is more definitive. Most Prosecco is Extra Dry and that is 12-20 grams per liter which could go from dry-ish to outright sweet. Follador is looking to distance themselves from the rest of the pack, and in this vintage the residual sugar is 0.0%.
