Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 86 pts. and median of 86 pts. in 10 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by jvphoto on 6/25/2018 & rated 85 points: Light straw color with decent sized bubbles with very little mousse. Nose lacks any identifying or qualifying traits. Would like it to be a bit more dry. Picking anything substantial out of the palate is an excercise in futility. (1124 views)
 Tasted by pdev on 3/8/2016 & rated 87 points: Pear, nice palate, hint of sweetness, but finishes fairly clean. (1928 views)
 Tasted by indiscriminate palate on 8/17/2015: Had only a sip, but it was quite nice and interesting, with more character and zip than most other inexpensive Prosecco. Good. (2109 views)
 Tasted by WineCenturyAZ on 12/27/2014 & rated 87 points: Pale yellow, Soft effervescence dry for a prosecco with restrained citrus and tropical fruit notes, soft minerality (2236 views)
 Tasted by TannicBeast on 6/1/2014 & rated 84 points: Nice small bubbles, fairly persistent. The nose is simple, almost not discernible. The palate shows some sweetness balanced by pretty good acidity. The flavors are a little off, with tropical fruit and canned fruit. Fine for what it is and for the price point. (2548 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 5/10/2014 & rated 87 points: Pale lemon color with fine bubbles. Aromas of white peach, apricot bright flower, sweet perfume, chalky. Tangy, crisp but fleshy as well, with canned peaches, sweet pears and apricot, mixed in with honey and flowers. Residual sugar is present but not too strong. More verve and life than a lot of Proseccos at this price point ($14). (1792 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.
