Tasting - The Collection Prosecco Rose D.O.C.

 1) 


2) 


3) The Collection Prosecco Rose, Glera (learned this from googling what was in prosecco), Italy, Prosecco in Northeast Italy, no vintage year on it, $2.99

4) Review from Viviano: Subtle strawberry notes, perfect bubbles, clean and light, pale salmon color. raspberry, lime, cherry, yeast and brioche aftertaste. medium acidity, nice astringency and fizziness. long finish with cherry, raspberry and lemon aftertaste.

5) From Wine Folly: About northeast Italy, The regions of Veneto, Emilia-Romagna, Trentino-Alto Adige, and Fruli-Venezia Giulia have cooler climates and the warmer areas are influenced by the Adriatic Sea. Reds offer more fruit and the best white wines are found in the hills, such as the Soave grape, Garganega. About Prosecco Superiore, Italy's most popular bubbly is made with Glera grapes and while most prosecco is mass produced, beer like fizz, you can find some exceptional quality from the hilly zones of Colli Asolani and Valdobbiadene Superiore. Pages 248-251

6) I drank this with no food. Once again the bubbles on this were spot on. Not as bubbly as a soda but you could definitely feel them. This one didnt taste quite so much like welchs sparkling grape juice. It was a little different. More pear flavored I would say. I didn't really taste a lot of red fruits even though I expected to but what I got was a nice little different feel then the wines I normally drink. Overall I would say this one is actually a little worse then the regular prosecco 8.5/10

 1.  2.  3. Winking Owl, Sauvignon Blanc, United States, California, 2017, $2.99 4. Review from Viviano, This white wine opens nose of citrus and floral. It is dry with light citrus and acidity. flavors of green apple, peach, and citrus 5. From wine folly, A unique tasting white wine with strong herbaceous flavors that are derived from compounds called methoxypyrazines. Flavors include gooseberry, honeydew, grapefruit, white peach, and passion fruit. Made in many different places. pages 165-166 6. I had this wine with no food. The feel in the mouth was very light and dry but not crazy dry. I did not taste a lot of the herbaceous flavors described in the book. I tasted more green apple and citrus flavors. Maybe a little lemon too. I did not enjoy it as much as the other wines I've tasted so far. It said on the bottle to pair this with seafood or light pasta dishes so I will have to try that next time. Overall rating 7.0/10
