MARTINI & ROSSI PROSECCO FRIZZANTE




For a special occasion we had a sparkling wine called prosecco. This wine is produced from Prosecco grapes grown in the hills of the Veneto Region. It is described as having a fresh fruity aroma with a crisp taste. This wine was acutually the original ingredient in a Bellini. I personally prefer this sparkling wine to champange because it is slightly sweeter and has a lighter taste. The wine has notes of apple and melon. Another benefit is that it is cheaper which means you can drink it more often. Produced in the Veneto region of Italy, Martini & Rossi Prosecco comes in a deep green bottle with a glossy finish and a hand-tied string over the cork, 10.5%
