Cocktails with Caposaldo

I love most things Italian, and of course, a great bottle of Prosecco is one of my favorite Italian products; one of many that is. Caposaldo translates to a few different words, and can mean both “benchmark” and “strength”, and based on that alone, I just had to taste the product. It turns out, they make a wonderful product, that’s bright and effervescent. Before I even had a chance to taste the Caposaldo Prosecco, the aroma of green apples and fresh citrus told me I was in for a treat, and then the delicate acidity washed over my palate and I was inspired to mix the following drinks with it.
