In my view, inexpensive pink fizz should be fresh, fruity, soft and refreshing, which may sound like an obvious set of requirements, but is rare to find. But Bortoluzzi has cracked it with the Rosa di Gemina pink Pinot Grigio DOC Delle Venezie, which has a pretty pale salmon pink appearance, masses of sweet pear and crushed strawberry flavours, a gently frothy fizz, and a bright apple-like finish, giving a dry sensation following all that juicy fruit. If you are looking for an affordable fun sparkling, then this represents a great option.
