Tasting - Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato

Name:  Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato
Variety:  Prosecco
Region:  Montello vinyards, in Asoli (Northern Italy)

Country: Italy
Price:  $11.95

Vintage Cellar Review:  Prosecco is very popular in Italy.  The wine is often served as a festive apertif 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 flavor that is more powerful than the white variety.  Spicy rosato spumante with a fine, persisent mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma, and a rich, smooth and lasting flavor.

My Review:  This Prosecco was the first wine that I tried at the Vintage Cellar wine tasting today.  It had a light pink color and was slightly carbonated.  Both the aroma and taste were fruity.  The girly color and sweetness made this my favorite wine of the group.

I tasted this wine on its own with no food.
