Tasting- Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato

Name: Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato
Variety: Prosecco
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: Not Vintage
Price: $11.95

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


My Review: This wine first has a strong kick that is both tart and bright. It has a champagne like taste with an overpowering carbonation. This wine has a bouquet of fruit ranging from strawberry to cherry and everything in between. This wine for me was too strong and bubbly for my taste. This wine would be great for a toast during a celebration, but not much more.

I did not have any food while tasting this wine
