Ringing in the new year with a sparkling wine is a holiday tradition, but that doesn’t mean it always has to be champagne. This prosecco from Italy is made from glera grapes with the charmat method, which is when fermentation is done in a large pressurized container rather than in individual bottles like champagne.
The wine is fresh and sparkling, with an orchard fruit bouquet and citrus flavors. A light, fun choice for the holidays.
Sherry: “Flavors of pear, light lime and a soft, dry, nutty almond finish.” Three-and-a-half stars
Chris: “Flavors of peach, pear and citrus.” Three stars
Available locally for about $13.
Coming next week: Barefoot Pink Moscato
