Prosecco tasting

[redwinegulper]

I did a tasting of Proseccos this weekend, and although Champagne sets the standard for sparkling wines, these wines are fun and a great economic alternative. My three favorites were:

1. Carpene Malvolti

2. Aneri

3. Ombra

If you get a chance try them!

PS - I do not sell any of these wines, I was just doing it for an article in my newsletter

I always have a glass of prosecco as an apertif when I go out for Italian. In fact, I did so last night. Usually it's overpriced ($6 to $8 a glass), because most people confuse it with Champagne and are willing to pay a premium. I don't care, because I like it that much. And of course when I buy a bottle for the home, it's always under $10 (or if not, I'm unlikely to buy it), so I save money that way.
