Tasting- Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato

Name: Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato
Variety: 100% Pinot Nero
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: not listed
Price: $11.95

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. 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 fine, persistent mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma and a rich, smooth and lasting flavor.

My Review: I really enjoyed this wine.  It was very sweet, and the carbonation gave it a crisp taste. I could taste the fruit flavors and residual sugar.  I am drawn to Prosecco, and was excited to see that it was the first wine that we were tasting at the Vintage Cellar. I liked it so much that I decided to purchase a bottle and am looking forward to sharing it with my roommates. I did not try this wine with food.
