Shop 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. This rosato spumante is made
from white grape pinot nero prosecco and red by fermenting them together to
create the pale pink color and a flavor that is more powerful than the white
variety. This spicy rosato spumante with
a fine, persistent mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma has a rich,
smooth and lasting flavor. (Kevin,

My Review: This was my favorite wine offered at this
day’s tasting. The legs were very light
and thin, but that is not unusual for white and rose wines. The smell was very crisp and fruity, and the
same to taste. It felt well balanced in
my mouth and left a very pleasant lingering flavor afterwards. This was my first wine tasting, and my pallet
is still developing, but I thought I detected a slight apricot taste among the
refreshing, sweet fruit flavors.
I tasted this wine on its own, without food.
