Reviews and Ratings

Douglas McMillan rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Grapefruit, pineapple, and lime aromas, with a touch of biscuit. The taste is lime and pineapple, and has a nice creaminess.
Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 88/100 with the following review:

A great Prosecco offering dry mouthfeel, exceptional value, Bartlett pear on the palate with a hint of hazelnut and citrus. Tasted Nov 2016 - rated 88/100
Cora Beaulieu rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Light straw colored wine with a medium+ intense nose of pear, peach, green apples, orange zest, lemon, melon, kiwi, light yeast and biscuit. Extra-dry on the palate, with fairly vigorous bubbles. Medium to light body and good acidity . Tastes very similar to how it smells, notes of pear, peach, apples, zest of orange, lemon and minerals. Fairly long finish with refreshing citrus and peach on the palate, making it a lovely aperitif for party drinking and patio sipping.
Rebecca Meir-Liebman - Sommelier rated this wine as 84/100 with the following review:

Made from the Glera grape, this is an approachable, down to earth Prosecco boasting appealing floral notes on the nose and persistent effervescence. On the palate, notes of apple, pear, with some peach on the medium-length finish. Second fermentation of this sparkler takes place in a sealed stainless-steel tank. This very food-friendly wine is great with seafood, soft brie style cheeses, and deep fried dishes, such as croquets.
Jacky Blisson rated this wine as 83/100 with the following review:

Subtle citrus and floral notes on the nose. Light bodied, frothy and fresh on the palate. Quite a simple style, but offers good value.
Emilie Ryan rated this wine as 78/100 with the following review:

Presentation: Very distinctive, almost like a grappa bottle. You won’t miss it on the shelf.
Appearance: Pale lemon colour
Nose: Medium intensity aromas of pear, pink grapefruit, lychee, with a bit of biscuit
Taste: Dry, with miniature, very sharp, effervescent bubbles, lemons rind and wet stone
Finish: Medium finish with some bitterness in the back end
Overall impression: A dry Prosecco, that should work well for a Mimosa. Good with salty foods like prosciutto.
Value: 3.5/5
