A review from La Marca Prosecco | Wine.com
The delicate La Marca Prosecco has a pale, golden straw color and sparkles with lively effervescence. Opening with aromas of fresh-picked citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, the crisp, clean palate brings fruity flavors of green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon, framed by hints of minerality. The finish is light and refreshing with a tantalizing hint of sweetness.
The second wine that I tasted was the Albariño. This wine was harvested in 2020 from Spain, and it sells for 14 dollars. After swirling the wine, I was able to smell passion fruit, citrus, and earthy scents. I was only able to taste the passion fruit and citrus flavors. This wine is light bodied, and it was paired with the Vermont sharp white cheese. I believe that the cheese made the wine more balanced yet sweeter. I enjoyed the wine, and I would pair this cheese with this wine again. Wine Folly (Page 200) describes Albariño as having hints of grapefruit, lemon, and honeydew.
A review from Martin Codax Albarino 2019 | Wine.com
Martín Códax Rías Baixas Albariño is delicate and medium-bodied with a crisp, dry finish. On the palate, flavors of pear, passion fruit, ripe apple, peach and lemon zest are framed by bright minerality and hints of spice.
A review from Best Chianti | Cavaliere D'oro (cavalieredoro.com)
A balanced bouquet of wild red berries and floral violet notes. This Chianti has a mélange of dryness and great freshness, with soft tannins and a medium body. The lingering finish of berries on the palate is pleasant and smooth.
