Ever wondered if you could find a delicious, vintage Prosecco without breaking the bank? Well, I’ve got just the thing for you! I’m Domain Dave from Cheap Wine Finder, and I’m excited to share my thoughts on a Trader Joe’s wine that I’ve rediscovered: the Cecilia Beretta Prosecco 2021. This delightful find is priced at just $11.99 and comes from a family-owned winery with a long history. Listen in as I discuss the unique characteristics of this bubbly, including its adherence to DOCG standards, which guarantee the quality of the grapes and the winemaking process.
Join me as I take a few sips and describe the flavors and textures of this Prosecco in detail. With a nice balance of acidity and mouthwatering notes of lemon, grapefruit, apple, and more, this wine is perfect for a casual Tuesday night or a fancier occasion. Not only does it taste great, but it’s also quite the bargain when compared to prices at other retailers. So sit back, grab a glass, and toast to great wine at affordable prices with me in this episode of Cheap Wine Finder. Cheers!

Welcome domain Dave here for cheap wine fightercom . with another podcast we did on a winery , we just wrote up on the cheap wine findercom website And today we've got a trader Joe's wine . It's one that's been around for a while And I think the last time I did it was a 2015 vintage Kind of forgot about it , and it's $11.99 and we'll talk about it Now . Probably butcher half the words here Because this Italian and my Italian is impeccable , but my pronunciation is horrible . It's just everything's bad . Cecilia Beretta , wilson , mato Valdio Beni . Prosecco 2021 . I left out Superior and Brutes and the other part of where it's from , but this is a vintage dated Prosecco . Most of the Italian Bubbys Prosecco's you find in silver market are going to be non-vintage . They do that because they're trying to get a house style and they blend several different vintages together to get an identifiable wine that if you like it this year , you'll like it next year and the year after that . But when they have a really good vintage , they like to make a bottling that shows off that vintage And then you go to 2021 . Prosecco Valdio Beni . I did better on the first one .

There's a section in the middle of Prosecco region , rolling Hills And most of the area around . That is DOC , dementoification of Control , or something . It's the Italian wine board . They have the rules and regulations for how you can grow the grapes in the vineyard and how you can make the wine , and all that , and this is DOCG with the G being guaranteed . What they're guaranteeing is the quality and that the wines adhere to all the rules and regulations that ensure the quality . So that's kind of a good thing . On 1199 wine that you know they're not guaranteed you're going to like it , but they're going to guarantee that these are the best grapes , farmed with the best practices , and the wine or the bubbly was made with the best as they could do in the Prosecco region . So that's not too bad a deal .

2:27
I'm gonna take a sip and we're gonna talk about it , because this is gonna be a little bit different . This is gonna be an individual wine rather than a house style wine . Cecilia Bereta is actually a wine where it's been around since the 80s from a wine family , the Pasqua family that I think they've been in wine industry since the 40s . So a lot of times these brand names are just made up brand names by the store , but this is a winery that do all sorts of Italian wines And they have land all over And this is an actual winery that's been around for over 40 years And it's actually a nice tasty Prosecco .

3:14
It's got good acidity . The acidity sets your palate up for the next flavor , your next taste , and gives the flavors plenty of time to unfold , but it doesn't really bite . It's got a really nice balance to it And the flavors are , you know , it's kind of lemon and grapefruit and apple and maybe dried peach and some pear , maybe some nectarine , little bit of that salty nutty thing going on , not really a cream kind of thing , but it's kind of a little bit of a texture , if I can know it's sip . Yeah , i mean it's got nice flavor and good length to it And this is a solid Prosecco . I mean it's not flavor challenge , it's just a nice Prosecco .
Speaker 1
4:12
And for $12 , and you're actually getting a wine that sells at other places . I think it's like and you're buying this in Ireland , it's $25 . I'm not sure why wine isn't more expensive in Ireland but other places . 14 , 16 , 18 , this is $11.99 . So you're getting a wine at a really good price .
Speaker 1
4:30
I'm gonna inform myself a little bit more because as we talk I might want a little bit to just get my memory sparked . Yeah , so it's a really flavorful , not super complex . You know this is not doesn't have a tons of depth and it's not a powerful bubbly , but it's just a taste good and it's a nice flavor and it's got good length . You know , it's got the things that you kind of want in a value-priced wine . And then there you go . I mean it's a bargain , it's underpriced what you get in a store . It tastes great , it's made to exacting standards , it's by a winery . It's been around for 40 years . You know it's one of those things that you know isn't wine great . You can get these bargains pretty much all the time .

I'm gonna take one more sip and we'll close this thing up because it's just a good bubbly . It's at 12 bucks . It could be a Tuesday night . You can actually have , you know , fish , maybe really fancy salads or something with this . You know it'll pair with food . It's got these cities to cut through . I'll take one more sip and we'll say adios . Yeah , i mean , it's got full flavor , it's got length , it's good wine . It's the Cecilio Berreta Mello's Maddo Valdio , benny Perseco 2021 , and all the superiors in there too . It's Italian and then they made it . They made it way longer than it needed to be , but that doesn't matter , because it's easy to drink and that's all that does matter . So , adios , that's it for me . Domain Day from cheapwinefightercom . Stay cool , stay safe , and we've got more coming up . We'll try to do summer , tuesday night out on the porch things , and maybe a pop-up , a few fancy Saturday night wine stews . Well , we'll find them . So , adios , take it easy , keep it cheap , and I'll be talking to you , see you .
