Winery 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.
My Review:
Cheers! This marks my first tasting at the "Vintage Cellar." The Casa Bianca was surprisingly bubbly and bright (literally bubbly!), with a pretty even mix between sweet and dry. It was quite light and airy on the palate with a flavor combination that was light and sweet. Oddly enough, it reminded me of a cross between a white zinfadel and sprite. There was an odd spicy hint as mentioned above that definitely came through especially when paired with the carbonation. I could definitely imagine drinking this wine at a summer wedding!
