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 tried this chilled, first alone and then with orange juice. For something extra dry, this was much sweeter than I expected! It smells fruity, like pears and apples. It’s very light and — I’m beginning to think this is a “me” problem — overly bubbly. Once I let it sit for a few minutes, some of the bubbles had dissipated and I was able to get more flavors. The apple scent carries through to the taste, but there’s a slight sour hint with it. I’m going with green apple. As a mimosa, it’s a little too sweet, but the strong bubbles keep it from getting lost in the orange juice. This may become my go-to mimosa wine!
