Tasting - "Casa Bianca - Spumante Rosato"

Name: Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato
Variety: white grape pinot nero prosecco and red
Region: Veneto
Country: Italy
Year: No Vintage
Price: $11.95

Vintage Cellar Wine 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 red flavor that is more powerful than the white variety. Spicy rosato spumante with a fine, persisten mousse, juicy fresh red fruit in the aroma and a rich, smooth lasting flavor.

My Personal Wine Review: The pink color is definitely the first thing I noticed and this made it stand out from the other wines with the clear glass. Also before tasting the wine, the aroma itself was very fruity which combines well with the pink color bottle. The wine's taste went rapidly from a nice sweet taste to a bitter ending taste that was very short. There was not much of a lingering taste with this wine.

I did not eat food with this wine.
