Freixenet Prosecco Extra Dry NV

Treviso, Verona, Veneto, ItalyFreixenet, known instantly around the world for their Cava, has now hopped over to Italy, and invaded Prosecco, a move solely intended to win the coveted UK market. The eye-catching bottle will certainly lure some buyers worldwide, as will the Spanish house's reputable name. At 18 g/L RS, this is firmly in the sweeter (Extra Dry) category, though a bitter / harsh acerbic white floral, lemon blossom note counters the sugar, disjointing this pretty looking bottle. Sweet candy necklace rules the short palate, finishing with more bitter lemon notes. Stick to Cava, por favor.Tasted: 29 October 2020Tasted by: Prices:
