This was a must try for us when we discovered one of our favorite Italian winemakers had launched a sparkling wine.
You don't have to limit your New Year's Eve bubbly to just France or California champagne. This wine from the prosecco grape in northeast Italy is made in the Charmat Method, which is a forced second fermentation. This usually takes place in a large tank and not in the bottle, like traditional champagne.
The extra dry wine hits the middle of the sparkling wine dryness scale, so there is a hint of sweetness with citrus and orchard fruit set in a crisp body. It is an excellent companion for light party food.
Sherry: "Flavors of green apple, lime and pineapple." 3-1/2 stars
Chris: "Pineapple and citrus with a hint of creaminess on the finish." 3-1/2 stars
Available locally for about $11.
Coming next week: Frontera Cabernet Sauvignon Merlot
