On the nose mainly tropical fruits, like ananas, and citrus, with some spicy undertones. Somehow it also reminds me of the Narghilè I used to smoke while travelling in the Middle East. In the mouth less fresh and rich than you would expect from the nose. Rather lean and without much of neither finish nor aftertaste.

On the nose, vinous with plum and sour cherry flavours. In the mouth, lean, acidic and slightly astringent, with a drying, sour finish. Not much aftertaste.
Lean and clean nose, with hints of fresh green foliage. In the mouth, crispy and mineral, with a finish dominated by citrus fruits that last through a fairly long aftertaste.
On the nose, subtle flavour of yellow fruits, like peach and ananas, vegetal notes and flint scent. In the mouth, some more freshness would be welcomed. The experience finishes on a slightly bitter note, which accompanies the aftertaste as well. 
On the nose this Valdobbiadene Superiore di Cartizze DOCG presents the apple and pear aroma (or white peach, depending on your point of reference) typical of Glera, the main grape variety used to produce Prosecco (at least 85% of the blend).
Very pleasant citrusy nose, accompanied by nutty notes. It reminds me of a weird mix of lemon and peanuts.
The aroma is filled with jammy dark fruits, especially plum, accompanied by some earthy notes. Once in the mouth, the wine has a considerably lighter body and is remarkably less filling than you would expect. The finish is drying and a bit bitter, in clear contrast with the first impression given by the sweet, fruity sensations perceived on the nose. The aftertaste is long, but not particularly appealing. 
On the nose, an aroma market by citrus fruits, floral and mineral flavours.
On the nose, the first impression is of very ripe fruits. A bit more in the back and coming forward with some aeration, are peppery spices and dry meat aromas, which nicely complements the plums flavour. Overall a rich and pleasant experience.
On the first sniff the wine gives the impression that not everything went well during vinification, but maybe it is just a very simple wine. A simplicity that is confirmed in the mouth, where matter is clearly missing and not much get expressed.
