My Cecilia Beretta Prosecco Review

The Cecilia Beretta Prosecco has a pale lemon-green color with lots of bubbles. It’s light, refreshing, and dry with bright acidity. It’s a great value sparkling wine that costs around $8-$9.

Additionally, this wine is perfect for mimosas, bellinis, or other cocktails. It’s the perfect wine to buy in large quantities to serve at your parties or large group gatherings.

I bought a couple of bottles of Cecilia Beretta Prosecco for my last family gathering. I found it a perfect pairing with our heavy pasta dishes. And everyone loved the bubbly, from my mom who doesn’t drink wine at all to my brother in law who is a wine fanatic.

Aroma

The Cecilia Beretta Prosecco has a delicate fruit aroma with a hint of sweet almonds. I can smell the green apple, lemon, melon, and green pear.

Taste

On the palate, I can definitely taste the green apple, lemon, and peach. The wine is fresh, has a medium body, has medium acidity, and is a little fizzy. It’s not too sweet, crisp, and well-balanced for a sparkling wine.

Finish

It’s fresh on the palate and has a long finish. It’s dry and there’s definitely, for me, a hint of sweetness to the wine. Overall, the Cecilia Beretta Prosecco is refreshing, easy to drink, and has full fruity flavors.
