LA MARCA PROSECCO D.O.C.
La Marca Prosecco elevates the everyday with a crisp, refreshing style and a delicate, floral palate. Made from the expressive Glera grape — found in the hillside vineyards of Italy’s Prosecco capital, Treviso — La Marca Prosecco is an elegant, luxurious sparkling wine that pairs beautifully with a variety of foods.

La Marca Prosecco has a pale, golden straw color and sparkles with lively effervescence. Opening with aromas of fresh-picked citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, the crisp, clean palate brings fruity flavors of green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon, framed by hints of minerality. The finish is light and refreshing with a tantalizing hint of sweetness.

We carry the 750ml bottles and 3packs of 187ml bottles. Stop in and pick some up to add a festive note to your small gatherings while social distancing this holiday season.

We are sad to report our little business was broken into early yesterday morning. Our computer and point of sales system was completely destroyed. We are going to try and limp along while we get everything replaced. We are open today between 10 and 5 using an old fashioned calculator for sales. We cannot process credit cards at this time, so we would appreciate cash or checks. Thanks for your understanding, patience, and most of all, your business

Need the perfect crowd-pleasing wine for your Thanksgiving table? For red, we love Beaujolais Nouveau, the Thanksgiving wine!

It is rich, rounded, but still dry enough to leave your palate ready for another bite! @ Black River Wine & Spirits
