Wine Store: "Having only 11% ABV and being “extra dry” according to the back label, this wine is light, fruity, and with just a hint of sweetness. “Extra dry” sparking wines actually have a greater amount of residual sugar than “brut” wines, so if you’re looking for the driest possible Champagne, Cava, or Prosecco, reach for “brut” instead of “extra dry,” That being said, the additional sweetness in this Prosecco is very slight, and completely undetectable in a mimosa."

Wine Folly: The dominant flavors within a Prosecco wine include green apple, honeydew melon, pear, honeysuckle, and cream. This varient originates in Northern Italy, primarily in Veneto, Italy. There are three quality levels of prosecco, which are prosecco, Prosecco Superiore, and Conegliano. It tends to pair best with cured meats or fruit-driven appetizers. (51-53).
My Review: This wine surprised me! I wasn't expecting to enjoy a sparkling wine as much as I did with this one. On the nose, this wine smelled very citrusy, mainly of lemons and limes. There was also a strong green apple candy scent to it. The green apple definitely carried into the taste as well, where it was accompanied by light acidity and wonderful bubbles. I would say it had a light-body to it with nothing too sour or tannic in there, so I enjoyed it a lot!
