La Sera - Red Malvasia

Name: La Sera 
Variety: Red Malvasia
Region : Piedmont 
Country: Italy
Price: $13.95

Winery Review: A specialty of Italy's Piedmont region, Red Malvsia di Casorzo is fragrant and fruity, moderately sweet wine. It has strawberry and fresh grape flavors, with a zesty fizzante (fizz). It is low in alcohol (5.5%) and best served slightly chilled. Enjoy as an aperitif, matched with spicy barbeque or Oriental dishes. It is also excellent with rich chocolate cake and fruity sorbet.

My Review: Finally a wine I can enjoy in this tasting!!! This wine was VERY SWEET! Now I enjoy sweet wines like Moscato, but this wine was even too sweet for my liking. It one of those wines that if you drink the whole bottle you know you're gonna end up hungover as hell the next day. On the nose this wine has a sent of strawberry jelly, and there was some hints of orange on the nose too. It was very fresh smelling. The wine was a frizzante, and I liked that a lot. Especially because this was less carbonated than most, which made it easier to drink. The wine  has a light crisp mouth feel and the flavor profile reminded me of a strawberry syrup I would pour over pancakes.
