Vintage Cellar Review:
“Prosecco is very popular in Italy. The wine is often served as a festive aperitif but mild dry Prosecco Spumante is also very suitable as a companion of appetizers and entrees. Prosecco is a generic term and can be sold in many different qualities. The best have their own appellation, as Casa Bianca. The vineyards of Montello and the hills of Asoli located in northern Italy. This rosato spumante is made from white grape pinot nero prosecco and red. By fermenting them together creates the pale pink color and a flavor that is more powerful than the white variety. Spicy rosato spumante with a fine, persistent mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma and a rich, smooth and lasting flavor.”

My Review:
This sparkling wine had a very light rose color to it... almost a washed out ballet pink. It had the tingle and fizz of a sparkling/carbonated wine. It had a sweet scent and an even sweeter taste. I could pick out some citrus flavors and a hint of apple flavor. The sweetness carried through all the way to the aftertaste. I actually really liked this wine, but as much as I hate to give this label, I think of it as a pretty “girly” wine all the way from the color to the bubbles to the very sweet flavor. Overall, great strong flavor that carries through to the aftertaste.

Pairings: I did
not try this wine with any food. I
imagine it would be good with desserts or light fare.
