Kylie Minogue Extra Dry Prosecco Rosé
Veneto, Italy
Kylie, famous for…singing and being Australian? To be fair, I enjoyed her recent-ish collab with Sia. Her Prosecco is extra-dry. It is…it is okay? 85% Glera, the rest Pinot Noir. Smells a little strawberry shortcake, heavy on sour strawberries, with a bit of sweetened cream? Spritely, it gives strawberry tops on the palate. It grows on you, sip by sip. I still wished to pour Campari into it to underline the bitterness. There is also a mouth-coating shale-ness that, in the right circumstances, I would love, but somehow it is the subtle sweetness in this wine that undermines the savory.
