The Winery: Rive Della Chiesa
The Wine: Prosecco Frizzante
The Price: $11.99 at Central Market
If it's not obvious from the name, this is an Italian wine. It is made from 100% Prosecco grapes. And for those who don't know, frizzante wines are wines that are fizzy. They're less bubbly than sparkling wine, but definitely have a light effervescence to them.
This wine is pale yellow in color and emits steady streams of tiny bubbles. It has aromas of apple, lemon and grass.
This is a semi-dry wine. It has an apple flavor with a hint of pineapple and peaches. It's kind of a fun wine. I like the fizz - it's a nice change of pace from the same old white wines. It's definitely no replacement for a quality Champagne or sparkling white wine, but it is a good wine to have in rotation and would be fun to pull out for friends at a barbecue or dinner party.

I tried Proseco Astoria in London this year and became a big fan of proseco. I don't like bubbles up my nose and the fizzyness of proseco suits me just fine. I am trying Rive Della Chisa for the 1st time at Thanksgiving hoping it will set a nice tone for the rest of the meal after toasts.
