Veneto, ItalyWe like that they made this Spumante from glera grown at Treviso in the Prosecco region of the Veneto. The sugary sparkler reminds me a bit of Prosecco with fresh pear and green apple throughout its foamy, high acid finish. Indeed, it is an Oddbird, displaying the biggest challenge all non-alcoholic labels, namely balance, or lack of it. Still, there is demand for non-alcoholic beverages that are unfortunately compared to their alcoholic counterparts, and it is not a fair comparison.Tasted: 23 July 2021Tasted by: Prices:
Veneto, ItalyOddbird is a line of non-alcoholic wines, a steadily speeding category of adult beverages for those wanting to bypass alcohol. This dealcoholized (or as the producer calls it, 'liberated from alcohol') glera comes from Treviso, aged a total of 1 year, and was finished with 44 g/L RS. The sweetness is apparent, but still doesn't quite mitigate the searing sharp acidity on the palate, one wrung with rubber and plastics along with unripe Asian pear. I reckon San Pellegrino in a flute might be a better way to go if you want to avoid alcohol.Tasted: 14 November 2021Tasted by: Prices:
