| Prosecco tasting label |
Variety: Glera (Prosecco)
Region: Prosecco
Country: Italy
Year: NV
Online Tasting Notes: "Barefoot Bubbly Prosecco has distinct tree fruit aromas and flavors and a lingering citrus finish. Best served chilled (36-40 degrees F) enjoy the apple, pear, and layers of honeysuckle in the nose and the crisp lemon finish." [WeSpeakWine.com]
Wine Folly Notes: I certainly tasted the apple, pear, and melon. This bottle seemed to be more sweet than brut, which I enjoyed. My group chilled the wine before tasting which certainly helped bring out the flavors, but we did not use the recommended tulip glass, instead opting for larger wine glasses typically used for red wines.

My Notes: Prosecco was a delightful second drink to try as I continue my deep dive into wine culture. Its sweet taste and mild carbonation contrasted well with the dryness of the preceding Pinot Grigio. The melon and pear shone through to add a delightful fruity aftertaste that left me wanting more. At an excellent price point of $12, I would certainly purchase this drink again.
I did not pair this wine with food.
