Tasting- Luna d'Or Prosecco Brut

Name:Luna d'Or Prosecco Brut
Variety: Glera
Region: Treviso, Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: 2010
Price: $11.99

Winery Review: Fresh, Grapefruit, Apples, Full-bodied. A light sparkling wine that is very delicate and fruity with a hint of ripe apples, lemons and grapefruit. It is perfect as an apertif, or with light dishes and sushi.

My Review: I tried this Prosecco at the Total Wine & More store, which means that it also was served in a plastic disposable cup.  This is crucial for a sparkling wine, because it didnt allow the wine to fully express itself.  On the nose I could hardly detect any aroamas at all, very disappointing.  I've certainly tried better Prosecco with a lighter body, but stronger fruit characteristics.  I could barely pick out a hint of grapefruit and apple, because it only became available at mid palate and didn't have a great finish.  I'd take a pass on this prosecco and wait for something with more appealing aromas and characteristics.
