Let's celebrate the season with a little wine. One wine to be specific, Prosecco. And of Prosecco, Mionetto is one of the finest you can buy! Tonia's Kitchen recently spoke with the winery's CEO, Enore Ceola.

Enore He told Tonia one of the reasons Mionetto is so special, is because it distinguishes itself with heritage, quality, taste and style. But don't take his word for it! Mionetto is considered a top-rated Prosecco house by top industry publications such as Wine Enthusiast, Wine Spectator, Wine & Spirits Magazine and many more. Ceola also says, that prior to Mionetto expanding the brand, Prosecco was very popular in the United Kingdom. So Americans have only happened upon this special wine relatively recently.

Mionetto is celebrating its 130th Anniversary, and to mark this very special occasion, the Prosecco maker is launching a very special, limited edition line extension to its Luxury Collection - the CuveÌe Anniversario Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG Millesimato Brut Nature. For this elegant Millesimato the brand paid close attention to every detail, from the meticulously hand-harvested grapes, taking drinkers back through their incredible 130 years of winemaking history.
