Garbel Prosecco - NV

This bottle has been rolling around in the back of my fridge since last Thanksgiving, when I traditionally serve prosecco as an aperitif. I made pasta yesterday, so a little Italian sparkling wine seemed appropriate.

For those unfamiliar, Prosecco is a grape grown in Italy's Veneto region. It is sometimes used to make still wines, but is usually made sparkling. This bottle was quite dry, with tart green apple flavor. The label says that it has "Zucch. 13 g/l." I've no idea what the range is, but 13 grams per liter must be a rather low sugar content.
