Tasting - La Marca


Name: La Marca
Variety: Prosecco
Country of Origin: Italy
Region of Origin: Veneto
Vintage Year: N/A
Price: $15

Winery Review: The delicate La Marca Prosecco has a pale, golden straw color and sparkles with lively effervescence. Opening with aromas of fresh-picked citrus and honeysuckle blossoms, the crisp, clean palate brings fruity flavors of green apple, juicy peach and ripe lemon, framed by hints of minerality. The finish is light and refreshing with a tantalizing hint of sweetness.

Always serve La Marca Prosecco chilled between 46-50°F. A versatile Italian Sparkling wine, La Marca Prosecco can be served in sparkling flutes or white wine glasses. A full bottle serves approximately 5-7 glasses. After pouring the first round, seal the opened bottle with a bottle stopper to keep remaining wine fresh and effervescent and keep the wine chilled to 46-50°F. An opened bottle should last about 3-4 hours with the bottle closure.

La Marca Prosecco has the charm to stand alone as an aperitif, but it also has the body and the acidity to pair well with a range of foods, from seafood and mild cheeses to rich pasta dishes and decadent desserts.

Wine Folly: pg 155 Prosecco - I definitely got the acidity that's listed in the book. I don't think we got cream, but we did get honeydew and pear. Only a little bit of apple and the lager & pear seemed to be the strongest overall.

My Review: When I first tried it, I didn't like it very much, but then I realized that it was because all I had been drinking lately was Sangria and other fruitier drinks. Over time, it became pleasant and enjoyable. It was definitely floral, and very crisp. Also, it was light-bodied. This was the first sparkling wine that I tried.
