Wine Review: This faint straw colored sparkler displays a few streaming bubbles and opens with lemon and strawberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and slightly acidic. The flavor profile opens with a mineral infused pilsner beer with notes of almond and pear. The finish is dry and refreshing. I would pair this Prosecco with bacon wrapped scallops. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: This sparkling wine is pale, golden straw in color. Bubbles are full textured and persistent. On the nose the wine brings fresh citrus with hints of honey and white floral notes. The flavor is fresh and clean, with ripe citrus, lemon, green apple, and touches of grapefruit, minerality, and some toast. The finish is light, refreshing, and crisp.
