Other Reviews….
While we have been able to enjoy Australian-made prosecco rose for a couple of years, the home of the grape – Italy – approved production only last year. The wait, it must be said, has been worth it.
BABO is claiming bragging rights as one of the first prosecco roses to be available in Australia and, what’s more, that it has been made to suit Australian tastes in that it is a brut style (ie. less than 12 grams of sugar/litre).
To label a wine Prosecco rose D.O.C., producers are obliged to follow a number of rules, the most important relating to the grapes. The only grapes permitted are glera (originally called prosecco) and between 10-15% of the red pinot nero (pinot noir) grape which provides the blush. I like the concept of a vintage prosecco rose, it not only gives extra cred to prosecco and the house style but ensures a potentially longer ageing – and therefore drinking – period. The clear bottle is marketing gold. The wine’s pretty pale, dusty pink blush will walk off the shelves once drinkers catch an eye full. It’s reassuringly classy to look at. Ditto the taste.This is a delicate sparkling with a pulsating bubble, intense mousse and the lifted scent of musk, nougat, strawberry and red berries. Juicy to taste with a light, fruit tingle sweetness amid the musk-confection, red fruits and nougat. So fine it almost melts in the mouth with a brisk, fine-edged acidity. And it’s well-priced.
Molto bene!

Fratelli Saraceni Blumond SparklingITALY$24. 99Bottle$299.88 DozenABV: 7%Blumond: the eye-popping neon blue Sparkling Sensation, finally available in Australia! Blumond - a mix of blue curacao, peach and prosecco – is the world’s first blue wine. Having had considerable success in China and the United States (much to the chagrin of traditional Italian winemakers), it's now available in Australia! Despite being disparaged in his homeland, Matteo Saraceni, a member of the family behind Fratelli Saraceni, comments "Anglo-Saxon drinkers are more open to innovation and particular twists than Italians, they like to experiment. They love celebrating key events and have a soft spot for wedding concept."
Produced from the Glera grapes, the same variety used to make Prosecco, after secondary fermentation according to the Charmat method, a hint of sweet peach flavouring is added to create a distinctively fruity taste.
Pours a luminous aqua blue colour with a very fine bead that shows good persistence. Gentle peach, tropical fruit, citrus-confectionary and cough syrup like notes emerge on the nose. Fresh and vibrant the palate has fruity flavours of peaches, sweet grapey characters and tropical fruits. Refreshing finish with lively acidity and an aftertaste of sweet grapey flavours and tropical fruits. The girls will love it!

Made in the Veneto region in Northeast Italy from the Prosecco grape variety, this sparkling wine is presently being discovered by more and more Australian winelovers, no doubt thanks in part to its ubiquitous presence in many Italian restaurants (Prosecco is a particularly good accompaniment with Italian antipasto, though it also works well with vegetable soups or soft cheeses). The wine comes in two styles - 'frizzante' (slightly sparkling) and 'spumante' (fully sparkling), both of which are typically dry, light-bodied and softer than Champagne, with floral, stone fruit and almond-like flavours. This is an impressive example of 'spumante' Prosecco.
