Ruffino prosecco sparkling wine review

Here’s a $15 non-vintage prosecco from Italy, which I obtained from Costco.

This Ruffino is an extra dry sparkling white wine.  The label says that it is creamy and crisp, with hints of peach and golden apples.

Like most sparkling wines and champagnes under $300, this prosecco is:

Not recommended.

Maybe if you are going to trash every Sparkling wine and Champagne under $300, you should no longer review them. Most of us aren’t privy to $300 and up bottles as it seems you are.

I enjoy the flavor. I am sorry the douche bag that rated the wine like vinegar.
