San Martino Prosecco Frizzante (NV)

This was a...... complex wine. As much as I love almost all Prosecco I have, there was something a bit off about this one.

Straight off, the nose was a bit astringent, with a bit off mineral quality to it, and then some very pleasant plum. The body was wonderful, mineral tones again with a bit of anise and vanilla. The finish unfortunately was initially astringent again, followed by a pleasant plum and pear aftertaste.

I just don't think I'd buy this again. It had very nice qualities, but not enough to make up for the unpleasant ones.
