N/V Prosecco di Valdobbiadene

This was a Christmas gift from our neighbors – neighbors we didn't give a gift to and now I feel sort of weird about it. Regardless, a very nice gesture. The bottle runs about $10.

Bread on the nose.

A very soft wine, mild bubbles, with mainly unripe tropical fruit – I can't help but taste papaya - and white bread on the palate....I'm also detecting a bit of walnut.

Tropical notes on the finish linger for some time.

Almost every Prosecco we've had has had a strange quality to it. They seem to leave a mildly unpleasant, strange, almost honey like coating on the mouth. Sadly, this one is no different and it's really the big dealbreaker I have with the wine.
