Mignanego: Dolce Rosso

The term “dolce rosso” is Italian for “sweet red”.  The chief identifying quality of Mignanego Dolce Rosso is a clear, distinct strawberry quality, from the aromatic nose through the light-bodied flavor. This delicately sparkling, light ruby-colored wine is lightly sweet and there is a lively, spritzy taste of bubbles. It is what the Italians call frizzante, and the effervescence is softer and less pronounced than that of Prosecco. With its cherry red color and soft, natural sweetness, Mignanego Dolce Rosso makes an appealing aperitif as well as dessert wine.
