Winery Tasting Notes: Toast life the Italian way! Ogio wines capture the Italian ideal of unequivocal good taste. Ogio Prosecco comes from the D.O.C. (Denominazione di Origine Controllate) region of Italy, meaning it has distinctive features of superior quality. This Italian sparkling white wine presents delicate aromas of pear and melon and crisp flavors of pear, peach, apple, and citrus. It is crisp, clean, and a lovely fountain of bubbles. It’s the perfect wine for any and all celebrations, big or small. Pairs perfectly with sushi or a seafood feast. Treat yourself to a little dolce vita today (kroger.com, 2022).

Wine Folly Notes: Wine Folly describes Prosecco as having minimal body, medium acidity, low to medium alcohol, and a range of sweetness that is mostly dry. This lines up with my ecperince tasting the wine. Prosecco has green apple, honeydew, pear, lager, and cream notes. Further, the best Prosecco comes from Valdobiadene, so one day it would be great to try it from there. Since the recommended amount to spend on Prosessco is about $15, I think the $12 I spent was worthwhile (e-text, pg. 363-364).

My Review: I enjoyed this Prosecco but will be trying something different before purchasing it again. From smelling it, I sensed honey, apple, and a general fruity scent. After tasting it, I thought it was very light and dry/semi-sweet. I did not think it had too much flavor but it was refreshing. I also was able to taste the green apple, honeydew, and pear flavors. I tried this wine without food.
