"Ast'up" is the innovative Rosé Spritz from Astoria, the historic winery famous throughout the world for its Prosecco, which is always in step with the times.
An infusion of botanicals and orange peel in alcohol, "Ast'up" was created as a liqueur for making a Spritz, but is a perfect ingredient for various cocktails and mixes.
This is very good value for money. A Piedmont red under $30! It has good dark fruit, some nice tannins and acid to balance although it would benefit from some more age to smooth it a bit but I liked its feistiness now.
I was happily surprised by the quality of the labels in the "mystery" case of rose wines - great value for the money I must say. Excellent drinking experience from the unfamiliar labels and happy to enjoy again the familiar ones.
