With half the bubbles of a Prosecco Spumante or Champagne, Prosecco Frizzante is a refreshing (and less alcoholic) sparkling wine alternative. Banear's Prosecco is made from grapes grown in northeastern Italy's Venezie region.

Tasting Notes:

A straw yellow colored slightly effervescent wine with aromas of flowers, freshly baked bread, butter and vanilla. On the mouth, this straightforward, crisp sparkler has apple fruit flavors and good body preceeding a dry finish. With less alcohol and fewer bubbles than fully sparkling wines, this is an ideal aperitif. Chill and enjoy now through 2011 with hors d’oeuvres, poultry and seafood.
