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 Take on Things: My first impression of this wine was that it smelled slightly sweet and had a floral scent. My initial sip yielded no clues as to flavors as my mouth was overwhelmed by the intense bubbles of this sparkling wine. I personally love sparkling anything- wine, cider, lemonade, etc. but this much carbonation was a little intense for me. Upon further examination and sipping, I tasted fresh fruit flavors like that of summer red berries like strawberries and some slight floral notes like that of a fruit blossom. It had a longer finish than I expected with slight residual sugar although it was less sweet than I was expecting from the spumante label.
