Wine critic review: 
"Smells like cherries and cinnamon. The bubbles are very active, filling the glass. On the palate, the fruit is rich and round under the layer of bubbles. Great, easy-drinking, casual wine." ((VinePair Inc)

Wine Folly: 
pg 251 - Prosecco Superiore

This is the the most popular sparkling wine in Italy, using the Glera grapes. Though it is usually mass-produced, you can find exceptional quality in certain hilly regions. The noted flavors are listed as "white peach, orange blossom, vanilla cream, and lager".

pg 155 - Prosecco

The best prosecco comes from Valdobioaddene and these wines generally have a light body, medium to low sweetness, low tannic structure, medium-high acidity, and average alcohol level. Known for flavors such as green apple, honeydew, pear, lager, and crean.

My review: 
Immediately strong floral notes on the nose and there is a stronger alcohol smell than I notice in most table wines. Fruit notes are mainly apple and pair. Upon tasting, my first thought is BUBBLES. I never get used to the hit of freshly opened bubbly wine. Flavors were mainly strawberry and rose. There was a pretty light body that seems consistent with other sparkling wines I have had in the past. There is a light acidity that makes this wine very refreshing.

Enjoyed on its own.
