Josh Prosecco

Many years ago, Josh Cellars founder Joseph Carr worked at a winery in Italy, falling in love with the country and with Italian wines. These sparkling wines are the first from Josh Cellars. They were created in 2019 in partnership with the Pozzi Family - a small family wine producer in Italy - as a ode to this their beautiful country.

Josh Prosecco ($14.99)

The grapes for this sparkling wine are from vineyards between Conegliano Veneto and Valdobbiadene in the Prosecco DOC appellation. The grapes were pressed immediately following harvest to extract maximum flavor. The juice was then fermented twice in stainless steel tanks to preserve freshness and produce the carbonation. On the nose, this Prosecco has hints of green apples, pear and citrus. On the palate it is lightly effervescent with refreshing acidity and a very light touch of sweetness.

Josh Prosecco Rosé ($14.99)

The grapes for this sparkling rosé are also from vineyards between Conegliano Veneto and Valdobbiadene in the Prosecco DOC appellation. The grapes include Glera and Pinot Noir. After pressing, the juice is kept in contact with the Pinot Noir skins for a short time to give it the beautiful rosé color. Again, this Prosecco Rosé is fermented twice. On the nose it has delicate aromas while on the palate it has nice notes of cherry and berry, refreshing acidity and a wonderful light touch of sweetness on the finish.

Both of these Josh Prosecco sparkling wines are available on-line from Josh Cellars as well as nationwide on Drizly, Total Wine and more. Cheers!
