Pretty good for the price. It's actually amazing that someone can produce this methode champagnoise, bottle it, ship it in containers from Italy to the US, pay import duties, and sell it through the 3tier system for $10. Amazing!

light violet color, medium bubbles, pleasantly fruity nose, palate with some yeasty notes and minerality, dry; light body. Overall very nice, outstanding QPR (was told $7 at Costco). 89 pts

Bready on the nose as well as the palate, and quite dry. Some strawberry sneaks through, but there is a citrus zing that is more dominant, bordering on orange. A full-flavored and robust sparkler.

Not as Rose as I would have thought, but still drinks nicely. Sort of non-descript flavors, nothing really popped out, but it worked especially with our Panda Express dinner.

It's better than dishwater, but not so very much so that it is worth parsing out a tasting note for. Well, my A/C is out, and I chose it because it was very cold in the fridge.

It's a good sparkling wine but goes better with food than alone. I don't think it's fresh enough as an aperitif and it also died rather fast. Still an enjoyable drink.

Delicious sparkling wine, but not a rose. More of a blanc de noir. Not much pinkish color, just a sort of gold shade. Nice acidity and perlage. Paired well with food.

Bought this bottle at BevMo during their 5Cent sale (buy one bottle at regular price ($13) and get the second bottle for a nickle) and did our usual sparkler routine (after chilling in the fridge, this bottle spent about 15 minutes in the freezer to get nice and chilly). Drank this with two other sparklers with Chinese "hot pot." Considering how cheap this bottle is ($6.50ish a bottle after the sale price), this is a spectacularly good/cheap sparkler. The wine consists of 75% Pinot Noir and 25% Chardonnay and is made in the traditional method of Champagne. The color is a pretty, pale salmon pink with a very yeasty/fruity nose, with delicious, fruity, creamy, yeasty, earthy tasting profiles. This sparkler is so rich and creamy in the mouth, its sale price is astounding. We've been buying a lot of sparklers at BevMo during their 5Cent sale, stocking-up for the holidays, and this bottle is by far the "find" of the year. We were so impressed with this bottle's over-achieving accomplishments that we went back and bought a case of it. If you're looking for a delicious, creamy sparkler, you canNOT go wrong with this bottle. And if you're prone to Pinot-based sparklers, the rich yeastiness of this wine is a fantastic contrast to most others. Try this; you'll LOVE it.

The winner at a recent "bargain" sparkling tasting. Nothing exceptional which is what makes it a crowd pleaser. I will say that I enjoyed it. Great bubbles, very light fruitiness and very dry. Great bargain on BevMo's 5 cent sale, I'd buy it though even at the regular price of $12 especially when serving a large group.

This is enjoyable...but nothing special. I'm glad to drink it, but there are no specific charictoristics that stand out to make this a "special" bottle. Is it nice? Yes. Is it a good wine? Yes...but not much more than that.

25% Chard. 75% Pinot....light pink/salmon in color. Crisp, somewhat sharp, raspberry, strawberry, apple fruit....pretty dry. Not much going on here...some dried florals, cherry spice, ginger ale toast.......nice alive bubbles, crisp feel...but really no taste! Can't expect much for the money.... drinkable, but nothing else.

Pale and light-bodied for a Rose but a good summer sparkler for the price. ~$10 Better than a lot of the mass-market Prosecco.

Creamy spicy apple, caramelized onions (ok, maybe that's from dinner), strawberry, rose petals. Excellent QPR.
