Cupcake Vineyards, Prosecco Rosé DOC (Veneto, Italy) 2020

Jul 6, 2021

By Rich Cook

 This is a brand new category, and if this wine is any indication, it’s set to rocket to the top of sales charts in short order.  A dose of ten percent Pinot Noir tames Glera’s beery character and adds lovely strawberry, cherry and a ginger note to Glera’s citrus and mineral profile.  I am guessing there is a lot of this out there, and that’s a good thing for the upcoming swelter season.  A Platinum Award winner at the 2021 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
