Wine Review: This wine has beautiful aromas of bright
lemon, slight apple, and honey. It has
off-dry flavors of clean, crisp citrus that leans toward grapefruit with some
light nuttiness. This wine was made using the Champagne method (written on
label as ”Metodo Tradiconal”), so the
bubbles authentic, plentiful, long-lasting, and fun. Medium body (12% alcohol),
medium acidity, and medium finish. Overall, a satisfying sparkler.
My Review: This is a well-balanced sparkling wine
that I would highly recommend! This translucent sparkler had wonderful aromas
of white peach and pear. The taste is
that of bright citrus flavors such as lemon and lime. It is a slightly tart
with a hint of green apple taste at the finish.
It is a light bodied semi-dry sparkler that was fantastic on a hot
summer afternoon. I paired this sparkling wine with brie cheese and it gave the
cheese a slightly hazelnut flavor and enhanced the creaminess of the
cheese. I absolutely loved the taste of
the citrus and invigorating feeling of the bubbles in my mouth!
