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(Kevin Dionysis, Vintage Cellar, 2012).
My Review: Very bubbly, light bodied wine perfect for celebratory events and morning brunches. Very similar to champagne, but tended to be sweeter with subtle and smooth fruity flavors. However, because it is a bubbly wine I would limit my consumption to one glass and accompany it with fresh fruit and/or a light dessert. However, during this wine tasting I didn't have any food along with the wine. I believe that this is a type of wine would benefit immensely with the addition of a sweet food.
