I love the simple combination of raspberries and a nice crisp Prosecco, and thought originally to use these ingredients, and not much more, to do a twist of an Italian Ice. Traditional Italian Ices are essentially composed of shaved ice with a syrup poured over it. But somewhere along the way I made a turn and never made it back to separately shaving ice. Instead this is a more granita-ish Italian Ice. The flavors are simple and pure and the ice is smooth as silk thanks to the Prosecco and a whipped egg white that I stirred in just before popping it in the freezer. It's almost embarrassingly easy to come together, like anything for summer should be, but the taste and texture bring a simple elegance to the table.
