Martini & Rossi Sparkling Wine



Type: Sparkling Wine
Year: N/A
Price: 13.99
Rating: 5 - One of my favorites
Where Bought: Sendik's grocery store
Comments: After all the previous sparkling wines, this one has to be one of the best. It was recommended by the store person who helped me to locate the sparkling wines section. He stated that it was one of the most popular sparkling wines and I see why. It was very smooth and good tasting, without any harsh after taste. definitely one of my favorite sparkling wines.

Comments: Nice sparkling wine to ring in the new year. I don't remember much about this one, since we originally purchased it for New Year's 2009. Tried it for 2010, and it still tasted very good.

Martini & Rossi Asti Sparkling Wine - 2009

Comments: Happy New Year ! I don't have sparkling wine often, but I do like the Asti's taste. Its a little sweeter and really great when chilled. We discovered a nice added touch to ringing in the new year. To prolong the chill of the glass without using ice, which just melts and dilutes the wine, you can use frozen fruits like cherries, strawberries or whatever you prefer. It adds a nice amout of additional flavor to the sparkling wine.
