ONE BOTTLE, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

Surdyk's staff is here to show you how to use a specialty spirit or liqueur in several ways so you can feel confident about your purchase AND avoid lingering bottles in the back of the bar cabinet.

THE BOTTLE: JEIO PROSECCO BRUT aka THE SPRITZ BASE

START WITH THE SPARKLING!:

Our choice for any spritz base: Jeio Prosecco Brut. This sparkling wine is produced by Bisol, a historic winemaking family in the Valdobbiadene region of Veneto, Italy. The Bisol family has been cultivating vines in the region since the 16th century, with the modern brand "Jeio" created as a tribute to Desiderio Bisol (nicknamed “Jeio”) in the mid-20th century.

This Prosecco is made from Glera grapes, following the Charmat method, which preserves the wine’s fresh, fruity character. Jeio Prosecco Brut is known for its crisp, dry profile with vibrant acidity. On the palate, it offers flavors of green apple, pear, citrus, and white flowers, with fine, persistent bubbles and a clean, refreshing finish. It’s the perfect base for all your Spritz cocktail recipes including our favorites listed below.
