From the heart of Prosecco country in northeasy Italy, this is a serious Prosecco. Made from 85% Glera with the remaining 15% other varietals. Pale silvery/gold in color. Lots of smaller bubbles. The nose has minerals and Vernors soda (sort of carmelized ginger and seltzer). It has a bigger presence. Ginger and mineral notes, slightly candied. Not tart, but well balanced. Almost dry. Long finish. This drinks well on its own but will work better with food. Fried chicken would be a nice choice. A real crowd pleaser.
A very nice Prosecco and a lovely way to start an evening. Light golden in color with green hues. A persistent stream of bubbles. The nose has almonds, pears and minerals. Medium bodied. Slightly sweet on the palate. Notes of pears and underlying minerals. Nice finish. This drinks easy and smooth. Nice to sip on its own, it will work well with a wide variety of food. Soft cheeses worked well.
Kirkland is the in house brand for Costco. They contract out a wide variety of wines and many of them including this one are very good and great values. This sells for $7.Silvery green and gold in color. A modicum of medium sized bubbles. The nose is reticent but with minerals and limes/green apples. It opens with a bit of air but is never strong. It is better and stronger on the palate. Clean. Just a hint of sweetness, just barely. Good acidity. Good finish. This is food friendly and easy to drink. Made for immediate consumption, for $7, this is a no brainer for parties and coo
This is a Prosecco from the Friuli region in northeast Italy. It is made from 85% Glera and 15% other grapes including Pinot Bianco and Chardonnay. Silvery green/gold in color. Some medium bubbles make a nice frothy head. On the nose, limes, minerals and lanolin along with a bit of sweaty earthiness give it a nice nose. On the palate, the fruit shifts to a more tart green apple note. Good acidity. Nice frothy mouth-feel. This has a sweet and sour quality that is enjoyable. Very food friendly. This drinks well on its own, but will work very well with salty or fried foods.
Produced in northwest Italky and made from organic grapes, this is a very nice value in a dry Prosecco. The label is a bit different utilizing a white (instead of yellow) label. Gold/silver in color with a lot of smaller bubbles. The nose has lots of minerality with apple and pear notes. Medium bodied. Dry. On the palate, the minerality comes thru. Some apples. Clean finish. This is very food friendly and will work with just about anything from sushi to pizza. Drink over the next year.
