Italy's best Prosecco
Prosecco is NOT trying to be Champagne. It's goal, much larger.
ME Fine Wines is proud to work with Montesel, the rarest and considered to be the greatest Prosecco in existence. Only a few bottles come into Las Vegas each year, NOT cases.
Renzo Montesel cultivates and produce Conegliano-Valdobbiadene Prosecco Superiore DOCG from 30 Yr old vines grown on his family's 7 hectare estate, hand harvested, gently pressed.
Fine wine, absolutely. Champagne no. Champagne if from somewhere else!
Meraviglioso!!

ME Fine Wines will Feature Bastianich Vespa Bianco at the Wine Spectator's Grant Tour 20114
Me Fine Wines will be proudly representing Bastianich Winery at this years Wine Spectator Grand Tour at the Mirage Hotel and casino in Las Vegas
The flagship wine of the Bastianich estate, Vespa Bianco was created to showcase the power and evolution that a great Friulian white can have. Consisting of equal parts Sauvignon and Chardonnay with a measure of Picolit, Vespa becomes more than a sum of its parts, a wine of uncommon complexity and longevity.
Joe Bastianich's dream of making an Italian wine, from Friuli that could rival the best wines of Europe has come true. Some press on Vespa Bianco:
“(2009 Vespa Bianco)… Dried lime, candied pear, apricot and beeswax on the nose… undertone of clover honey. Energetic citrus and almond flavors… minerals and ripe lime. (The finish) features tropical fruit qualities while maintaining focus. A big, rich wine that stays light on its feet. Lovely right now.”

“The 2008 Vespa Bianco impresses for its textural finesse, depth and richness. Light floral honey, juicy apricots, mint and cantaloupe meld together seamlessly...lush yet mid-weight… beautifully precise...”

“(2007 Vespa Bianco is) Rich and very ripe, with tropical fruit and cooked pineapple aromas that follow through to a full body, with loads of spices, from cinnamon to clove and dried apricot. Long and very rich.”

“In the mold of Vintage Tunina or Terre Alte and right up there in terms of quality… pretty floral and herbal elements on the nose… lots of honeysuckle, green apple, tangerine, vanilla and pineapple… Clean acidity keeps it lively and fresh, but… pleasantly creamy.”

“(2005 Vespa Bianco)…offers loads of peach and mango on the nose, following through to a full body, showing notes of pear drops, with a dense mouthfeel and a long, lively finish. Complex and delicious.”

“With some air (the 2004 Vespa Bianco) reveals wonderfully nuanced layers of fruit supported by a lovely vein of minerality which gives the wine notable continuity on the palate as well as a long, clean finish… put on weight in the glass and clearly has the stuffing to develop further complexity in bottle”
