Tasting- Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato



Name: Casa Bianca Spumante Rosato
Variety: White Grape Pinot Nero Prosecco and Red
Region: The vineyards of Montello and hills of Asoli
Country: Italy
Year: 2008
Price: $11.95

Professional 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 appelation, 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 and lasting flavor

My review: This was a very pleasant sparkling wine. The dry/floral aspects make it great to serve as an aperitif before dinner. I could easily see myself having a glass of this on its own after a long day at work (if and when I get a job). It was crisp and refreshing with a smooth, semi-buttery finish. I really enjoyed this wine.

I did not have this with food. I would try it with food, but it was great without the pairing.
