 Tasted by jjlobi on 1/14/2020 & rated 89 points: Great flavor with identifiable fruit nuances. Just wish it was a bit more fizzy. Screw cap may be the reason. (1332 views)
 Tasted by jjlobi on 1/6/2020 & rated 88 points: Ice fruit and smooth. Not too fizzy, but a winner. (1131 views)
 Tasted by jjlobi on 1/3/2020 & rated 88 points: Hints of pear and banana. Refreshing flavor I’m a fan. Not as fizzy as others perhaps it’s the screw cap. (942 views)

 Tasted by jshufelt on 4/28/2019 & rated 84 points: Pop and pour, chilled. In the glass, very pale gold with medium-fine bubbles. On the nose, muted apples. On the palate, a bit of acidity, spritz, and apples - easy to drink, but nothing more than that. (1280 views)
 Tasted by jjlobi on 1/20/2019 & rated 51 points: A more complex Prosecco with more fruity overtones. (1438 views)
 Tasted by ABOVETHEINFLUENCE on 7/6/2018: quite round here,peach,pear syrup, not alot of acid,spun sugar, in a sea of prosecco, that's pretty fair,light carbonation (2359 views)
 Tasted by GTYellowJackets on 4/6/2018 & rated 88 points: great for making a Hugo. prosecco, elderflower Syrup and mint leaves (2344 views)

 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 8/8/2017 & rated 88 points: Always a very solid value. Fun. Easy drinking. Around $12 a bottle. Light golden in color. Lots of smallish bubbles. The nose is fruity but kind of indistinguishable. Peaches, slight citrus? On the palate, just a hint of sweetness. Some minerals and slight peaches. Nice finish. Easy to keep popping the cork although it was difficult to remove. (3018 views)
 Tasted by calicarolann on 7/22/2017 & rated 86 points: I liked this, would definitely buy again. Very fine-textured bubbles, light yeasty flavor, delicate & lovely. Other inexpensive sparklings tend to be overly coarse; this not at all. High class, low price, why not? (2605 views)
 Tasted by lowhook on 11/24/2016 & rated 88 points: Very light and a touch sweet. Great late afternoon starter for a big Thanksgiving dinner. As noted by a few, less bubbly than most Prosecco. Will have again at Christmas dinner. (3842 views)
 Tasted by jeffal66 on 6/23/2016 & rated 87 points: A very respectable screw top Prosecco. Fresh tasting, with pear, melon, subtle nutty/bready notes and a little cream. Overall clean and zippy, easy to drink. (4930 views)
 Tasted by Merrit on 4/9/2016 & rated 87 points: Melon, citrus, banana, lemongrass and a hint of salt water. Refreshing, good with food, but not a lot of bubbles. Great QPR. (4874 views)
 Tasted by jjrausch on 9/11/2015 & rated 90 points: We like this prosecco... light and a touch sweet with floral and delicate fruit. Lovely for sipping on the lanai at sunset. We had grilled lobster tail and it was fine with that. Something a touch more dry might have paired better, but this did not clash at all. Looking forward to our next bottle. (5979 views)
 Tasted by edog77 on 5/7/2015 & rated 88 points: Refreshing. Nice screw cap. Nice smooth fruity peach, pinapple, cool banana, and clean, tart finish. One of the better prosecco's Ive tried. (6017 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 12/12/2014 & rated 84 points: Sweet, fun, fruity, clean, full of fun. A big hit at the holiday party. (6254 views)
 Tasted by skinut on 10/3/2014 & rated 87 points: Light bubbles, light body, simple and straightforward. Not much on the nose. Hint of citrus on the nose. I seem to remember this was more complex a couple years ago - is my palate changing? After it warms up you get a little more nose and complexity - don't over cool it in an ice bucket. (5523 views)

Glera

Glera Grape

Glera is a white variety of grape of Slovenian origin, which was brought to village Prosecco (Slovene, Prosek) from Slovenian Kras. Glera was, until 2009, mostly referred to as Prosecco (Slovene, Prosekar).

Glera is a rather neutral grape variety which is mainly cultivated for use in sparkling Italian wine styles, frizzante or spumante, from the various Prosecco DOCG and DOC areas, although still wines also exist.

It is grown mainly in the Veneto region of Italy, traditionally in an area near Conegliano and Valdobbiadene, in the hills north of Treviso.
