Double, double save your toil and trouble; Friday yearns, get your bubbles.

It's not too often that I get to tear apart Shakespeare to make a Prosecco gag, but here we are: a few days out from Halloween, with Prosecco having just arrived in store, and the stars aligned.

Now we here in Oz have a particular relationship with Prosecco and it's one that I will go into in more detail in the future. But it presently suffices to say that what we have in store is the real deal; from the heartland of Veneto, a 2023 Millesimato Prosecco, made by the beautiful Dissegna family, led by the patriarch Francesco.

What is Millesimato, I hear you think? Put simply it's Italian for vintage, meaning that the grapes used for these delectable bubbles come from a single year, denoting a higher level of quality. AKA, the good stuff.

My history with this wine is an enthralling tale for you see, I was never one for Prosecco. However, when expanding my burgeoning wine business I ultimately reached a point where enough people were asking for it and I bit the bullet. I reached out to an Italian wine promoter and asked them to send me a selection of reasonably priced options. One less than a baker's dozen arrived from Italy a few weeks later and I had a quiet afternoon alone with my thoughts.

In a surprisingly quality field, the Prosecco from Dissegna reigned supremo. I ordered a few pallets and ever since it has been a best seller.

Its arrival on this wide brown land fills me with excitement, and who better to announce it's arrival than the Venetian himself, Shakespeare. At $21.95, I'll make things simple for you...
