Tasting notes:
I’m veering off the Prosecco trail slightly, but staying in Italy, with this crackingly good fizz. Pignoletto is a well-kept secret, from the grape variety of the same name, produced, like Prosecco, in northern Italy, but in this case, towards the east, close to the cities of Modena and Bologna. But if Tesco have their way, and I hope they do, this will be a secret no longer. It’s deliciously crisp, with a zesty freshness; tiny bubbles stream to the top of the glass and release scents of sharp pear and crisp coxes apples, with a little hint of ripe nectarine wafting in. A delightful glass of lively fizz with loads of ripe peach flavours, a floral, creamy edge and a very perky, sassy, refreshing style. Stay one ahead of the crowd and impress guests with this new kid on the block.

Tasting notes:
Prosecco may be the flavour of the moment, but if you’re looking for impressive fizz on a budget, stay one step ahead of the crowd, and impress with an Italian fizz, which isn’t mainstream yet, but soon will be. Tesco Finest Pignoletto is a delightful glassful of fizz, with a stream of tiny bubbles, and an effortless brightness. Crisp, lively, and bursting with fresh green apple, ripe peach and zesty lemon freshness, it’s a perky delight, with a delicate, creamy edge, which would also be great mixed with freshly squeezed orange juice, if you’re planning a romantic Valentine’s Day breakfast.
