Nearly clear hue with a hint of straw color with aromas of apple, peach and citrus.
Palate--A lackluster presentation with decent effervescence, clean fruit flavors and off dry meaning it is actually "dry" while tasting sweet.
This Italian bubbly is not a "sweet" wine by definition. Fruity wines are often confused for sweet wines which means they have residual sugar, meaning not all the sugar has been converted to alcohol via fermentation. This wine is ubiquitous, wildly popular but I am not a fan. It is overpriced by half--especially in restaurants where you can pay the price for a glass that you would pay for a whole bottle retail. But hey! People like what they like. From $15-$22 a bottle this is a pass in my book!
