Hi All. It has been a while, so have been looking forward to getting back into the blog. I decided that I’d explore a varietal with which I don’t have as much familiarity – Prosecco. It is an Italian sparkling wine that is primarily made from the prosecco or glera grape, which is native to the Veneto region of Italy. I tried Lamarca Prosecco. It is light, but slightly dry. It has a hint of cut grass and a slight citrus taste and doesn’t linger. I tried it with Parmesan cheese and found that was a good pairing. It was the only cheese I had in the fridge that was a healthy color, so…
I then got creative and tried dropping a couple of peach slices in it and left it for a few minutes. Yeah – don’t do that. Go to the Lamarca website as they have a few recipes that look delicious. While Prosecco isn’t my favorite type of wine, I could see drinking it in an afternoon soiree and enjoying it given its light nature. You can find Lamarca Prosecco at most grocery stores, conservatively priced, for around $11 to $14 per bottle.
I would love to hear from some Prosecco fans on your thoughts on good brands and how best to enjoy it. Have a great week!
