Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2009
Price: $11.95
Shop Preview: Prosecco is very popular in Italy. Often the wine is 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: The Rosato was so enjoyable to try. The initial bubbly taste was followed by a persistent juicy fruit taste. It was extremely rich and smooth, and had a lasting flavor.
