Winery review: The Collection Prosecco Rosé has delicate notes of ripe red berries and rose petals with elegant acidity for a crisp, refreshing finish. With delightful notes of ripe red berries, peach, and rose petals. The Collection combines the best of carefully harvested grapes and perfectly balanced wine bringing together a delicate compilation of pure winemaking artistry (https://www.target.com/p/the-collection-prosecco-ros-233-wine-187ml-bottle/-/A-79234528).
Wine Folly: Proseccos tend to be dry, light-bodied, have medium-high acidity, and no tannins. They include flavors like green apple, honeydew, pear, lager, and dream. They're best served chilled and not decanted. They pair well with cured meats, almonds, and sushi (https://winefolly.com/wines/prosecco/).
My review: I was taken aback by the cap. It was a screwcap shaped like the classic sparkling cork. I've never seen that! It made for very easy opening. The wine smells floral with hints of grapefruit. The first taste reveals nothing more than excessive carbonation. It takes a few sips for your tongue to adjust and start tasting again. It's an extra dry prosecco, but it almost goes too far, bordering on sour. There's a hint of strawberry and crisp apple. Overall, not great, but about what I expected.
