2021 Villa Sandi Prosecco Il Fresco Millesimato Brut Rosé, Italy, Wine Review

This is a blend of Glera and Pinot Noir grapes. Light salmon pink in color. Nice mousse with medium to small bubbles. The nose has cherries, pomegranate and slight fresh hay notes. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, this has a slight sweetness. Cherries with slight "crushed rocks". Long finish. This is easy drinking and would be a great choice for a holiday party. Drink now. It is nice on its own and should be food friendly. Fried foods (think appetizers) are a good choice.

This Prosecco is made from 85% Glera and 15% Chardonnay grapes. Silvery gold in color with a nice mousse of medium sized bubbles. The nose has a pleasant yeasty quality to it along with golden apples, and slight ginger notes. Medium bodied. Good acidity. On the palate, there is a hint of sweetness as this comes across as off-dry. Apples with a touch of honey and slight ginger. Long finish. This is nice on its own and worked with with fried appetizers. Drink over the next few years.

Silvery/gold in color. A moderate mousse with medium sized bubbles. Clear and bright. The nose is nice with a hint of green apples and slight peach notes. Medium bodied. On the palate, this has a soft, easy to drink texture. Apples and peaches with good acidity. Moderate finish. This drinks well on its own, but should be better with food. Very food friendly. It would go well with pasta with a cream sauce. Drink now.

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 sparkling wine from northeast Italy. It comes in an attractive packaging with a clear bottle. Silver/green with a bit of white gold in color. There is a nice mousse with a stream of medium sized bubbles. It has a very nice nose with lanolin, lime, soda and also a bit of peach. On the palate, this is very refreshing. At 11% abv, it is lively with nice energy. The lime/lime soda qualities carry thru to the palate with a nice crispness. Solid finish. This is made to be drunk now and in the next year or two. It will work well on its own and also with a pasta in cream sauce.
