N/V Mionetto il Prosecco

We've had this producer's moscato and enjoyed so I grabbed this for about $9. This is a unique looking bottle because it has the crown cap (like the old soda bottle caps).


At first I didn't think this had much of a nose, but when I stuck my nose deep in the glass I picked some very interesting tropical fruit notes – papaya and pineapple mainly.


The tropical notes on the nose come through on the palate as well....fruity but not exactly sweet.


Some honey comes through on the finish...this leaves a film in your mouth almost which is telling me sugar but I'm still not tasting it.


It's alright but I'd never buy it again quite frankly. I appreciate the interesting tropical flavors but it's just not working for me – if that sort of thing works for you then you can do worse.

Where else can you find a quality prosecco for $9-10. prosecco is cost upwards of $15 these days and none seem to have the consistency and quality of this one for 2/3 the price.

I think I may just not be a fan of Prosecco. I may have to drop some money on a well rated, pricier bottle and see if anything in it grabs me.
