Cantine Maschio (MAH-ski-oh) was founded in 1971 by the Maschio family, a family with a long history and a reputation for quality. On October 1, 2002, Cantine Maschio was transferred to the family of grape growers from Cantine Cooperative Riunite. Today Cantine Maschio is one of the largest producers of frizzante wine and of the leading vintners in Italian Prosecco. Prosecco, the name of both the wine and the grape for many Italians isn't just for special occasions, but for celebrating the moment. It's a glass of breezy, soft, refreshing wine. Prosecco comes form northeastern Italy's Veneto region, where it's enjoyed casually at the end of the day, at the beginning of a meal, or sometimes with simple snacks. Don't compare it to champagne. It's more country than city, more spontaneous than planned, and more convivial laughter than sedate smiles. It's more light bodied, more fruit driven, and just more fun! Pale straw to light gold in color, Prosecco has a gentle sparkle and an alluring bouquet of pears and peaches. Soft flavors of melons and peaches with hints of nuts tease the palate and culminate in a refreshing finish. Throughout Italy, fine restaurants offer arriving guests a glass of Prosecco as an elegant gesture of hospitality. In Venice, Prosecco is often mixed with peach nectar— a classic Venetian cocktail called a Bellini. Click here for the recipe.
