Il Cortigiano Prosecco

I should probably get in trouble for this, but I enjoyed the wine more the second night since it was less bubbly. I'd put this one up against any Champagne for quality and presentation, but I'm sorry to say... I just find too many bubbles to be a distraction. As such, I have now learned that my experience with Italian sparkling wines was with frizzante rather than spumante. This is effectively the difference between lightly sparkling wine and full bore, champagne caliber beverages.

That explains it; and so we learn. Great price, 6 of 10.
