The 2022 Cavedon Prosecco Col Fondo, crafted by Pia Cavedon & Gabe O’Brien in King Valley, Victoria, is a heritage-inspired, lees‑rested Prosecco made in the ancestral method. Cloudy in bottle with fine sediment, it opens with aromas of crisp apple, quince, citrus blossom, and subtle herbaceous notes. The palate is bone-dry and textural, enlivened by bright acidity, fine mousse, and a savoury, slightly phenolic edge that delivers a refreshing, mineral-driven finish. With moderate alcohol and no disgorgement, it offers sparkling wine with authenticity and tension. A distinctive, thoughtful Prosecco Col Fondo that captures regional nuance and artisanal finesse.
