Fiol, Extra Dry, Prosecco, Veneto, Italy NV

Fiol was founded by three friends, with the aim of filling the gap between luxury and affordable Prosecco. It’s a cut above many on the shelves, offering elegant, crisp green apple fruit, warm lemon and acacia notes. There’s also an accomplished rosé. AW Alcohol 11%

Eylo, Rueda, Spain 2020

£10.99
