Wine Critic Review: "A straw-colored wine with brilliant reflections. The aroma is fruity, reminiscent of pear and citrus with a slightly floral bouquet. The wine is fresh and crisp with apparent apple and peach flavors. This lightly sparkling (Frizzante) wine typifies the traditional wine-maker's Prosecco. Finished with easily opened crown cap" - Winery Notes
Wine Characteristics: "Italy's most popular sparkling wine is created with Glera grapes grown in Veneto and Friuli-Venezia Giulia. The best Prosecco wines come from Valdobiaddene" -p.155 Wine Folly
My Review: I thought this Prosecco tasted very nice was quite refreshing as an afternoon libation. I felt like this Prosecco had mild yet pleasant notes of honeydew melon. I did not pair this wine with any food, but I think enjoying this with a spicy Italian pizza or lasagna would have tasted delicious. Overall, I would buy this Prosecco again but would like to pair it with authentic Italian cuisine to get the full experience.
