| 75 | | | 88 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | Prosecco is a grape type from which Italy makes its classic, light-bodied, crisp Italian sparkling wine, made in the Charmat method. This is usually a very well priced category of wines ($15-25), and provides a lovely opportunity to enjoy sparkling wine at a beach picnic or at brunch. You’ll have to open this one with a corkscrew. The wine shows a pale yellow color and a fine, rather persistent bead. A slight almond note in the aromas introduces a well-balanced off-dry sparkling white wine with a pale yellow color. The wine’s delicate scent hints of citrus and flowers, while on the palate crisp, clean white fruit flavors including a bit of white peach make this a wine useable in many circumstances. Great value. Foods: petizers: aroncini (deep-fried rice balls); taramosalata; calamari with lemon aioli; grilled scallops with classic rémoulade (not Creole); raw or roasted oysters with lemon; Main dishes: delicate poached or baked seafood and fish with delicate sauces, pasta or potatoes; pasta with pesto and shrimp; shrimp salad; spaghetti squash or cappellini with fresh basil and Manchego cheese, olive oil; sautéed soft-shell crab with a little curry powder in the dusting flour.
