Critic's 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 fine, persistent mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma and a rich, smooth and lasting flavor.
My Thoughts This sparkling wine has an overpowering carbonation. It sizzles. My first impression of this wine was that it had a dry, crisp taste that contrasted its sweet, floral aromas. The carbonation packs a punch that makes it difficult to distinguish the complexities at first sip. Upon further examination, hints of fresh fruit flavors like that of peach can be detected. The fruity flavor is cut by a woody finish, making this wine less sweet than I was anticipating.
This wine was not paired with any food.
