Giusti Rosalia Prosecco DOC NV
Listen up, you sparkling fiends. This prosecco won gold at the Prosecco Masters in London. That’s right, the Prosecco Masters. Sounds impressive, right? I like to imagine the event much like the Olympics, but for wine, which makes this Prosecco the Usain Bolt of the bubbles world.
