Martini & Rossi Asti Spumante





Cost: $13
Smell: Sweet grapes
When it touches the tongue: Sweet berry flavor (not at all tart)
Aftertaste: Sweet, grape mixed with apples.

Overall: This was a very decent one for the cost! Very sweet, rolls off the tongue, no bitterness or tartness (probably because it's only 7.5% alcohol by volume). It's actually almost like sparkling hard cider!
I think if you are bringing a bottle to a party where you know people don't know anything about sparkling wines, this would be a big hit!!
My pallet has developed to the point where I like very brut sparkling wines, not sweet. However... this is tolerable!
