Had this wine at a wine class I'm taking. It is basically a dessert wine. It has a little bit of fizz to it, nothing like champagne but it's definitely there. Our instructor said that this wine is ancient, it's been produced in Italy for at least 2000 years and was Julius Caesar's favorite wine. It has a very distinct apricot aroma and it's quite sweet, as you would expect. It's a light sweetness though, not syrupy like some dessert wines. This is a very good, highly recommended dessert wine and at only $10 a bottle! |
