Martini and Rossi Asti Spumante is my old standby in champagne. It's got a great fruity flavor, semi-sweet, and perfect with strawberries and chocolate. I always keep a bottle of this on hand for special surprise celebrations, like when friends come over with good news or my husband got promoted. It's certainly not up to par with Dom Perignon but at only 10% of the price is worth that and more. This was the first sparkling wine I ever tried and I love it! For the taste I would willingly pay twice the current price!
