Riccadonna Asti Spumante
11 reviews
Just not right – I was gifted a Riccadonna Ruby at the bringing of 2023, it was lovely, light in colour, lightly sweet and sparkling, bubbly. I wanted to buy some for Christmas and looked everywhere. Most places said it was taken of the shelves as there was an issue with it. I finely found it in a small independent liquor store, and purchase two bottles, $16… Read more
each. I opened one tonight and it was terrible. Dark in colour, heavy, no sparkling, "bubbles" flat as, and overly sweet. It tasted like a cheap port at best. What Has Happened to Riccadonna. I have drunk the white one for many years, which I have always enjoyed, it was a surprise to be gift the ruby earlier this year and I found it refreshing. To say I was a disappointed is an understatement.
Embarrassingly good – On a blind tasting the Riccadonna came in as the top pick at a lunch for some finicky drinkers. Embarrassing, because this $13 wine was chosen over the more expensive varieties. Comes in both white and red and both get good reviews on the Dan Murphy's site. Drink to enjoy, not to impress.
Sugary water taste – Twenty years ago my brother proposed to his first wife with this wine and it became a family favourite, it had a beautiful, sparkling almost raisin-like taste. Yes it was kind of sweet but with body and flavour. Recently it tastes just like sugary water. Will never buy again!
Perfect! – Reasonably priced for an Italian bubbly. Am not a wine, champagne or bubbly drinker, but Love it and can drink it on my own. Will be buying more.
Refreshing sparkling – I find the classic flavour really great for small family gatherings and special occasions. Its full flabour that is not too sweet and is just the right partner for any family celebration. I am now ordering it every time we have such occasions.
Surprisingly good – I don't usually like bubblies unless they are sweet and this one hits the mark. Better than the cheaper spumantes the quality shines through. I was introduced to this by my brother in law and my man likes it also. That tells you it is enjoyable without being sickly sweet.
Nice sweet – My boss first for me into this. I've never been a wine drinker as I have a sweet tooth. But this is very nice not sickly sweet but Just right of you have a sweet tooth.i have nothing bad to say about it other than its imported. Brown brothers do an Australian Zibbibo. Often comes gift boxed makes an excellent present. sweet and bubbly imported
A classic – I like to try different alcohols, especially champagnes, but I'm often disappointed with the selections I end up with. Riccadonna is probably my old faithful drink, it always tastes great and is good for just about all occasions. I have tried the other variations of Riccadonna and they're all quite nice but this one is by-far my favourite. Not… Read more
too dry, not too sweet either - its actually got the perfect sweetness to it.
Highly recommend! Not too sweet, bubbly and slightly fruity Isn't dirt cheap like other wines/champagnes but is well worth the price
Excellent – Riccadonna Asti Spumante is delicious tasting sparkling wine. It is readily available. It is great for taking to friend's places, barbecues or parties. It is great for chicken or fish dishes, and I have regularly enjoyed it with spaghetti. It can even be consumed with cheese and fruit platters. A very fruity and delicious wine perfect to take to a… Read more
friends or to give as a gift. A great sparkling wine to share (or not if you are greedy like me) Sweet and luscious fruity taste that reminds me of summer. Nothing I dislike about this product. It has no cons
OK – A very sweet wine that is full of luscious grapes and glorious sunshine. I might enjoy it best with something like sticky date pudding, chocolates for breakfast, or one of Auntie's legendary cream filled sponge cakes This would have to be a great wine for one of your aunties. Perhaps the one with a really sweet tooth who likes a few bubbles… Read more
tickling her tonsils at family parties. I prefer something a whole lot drier, but might keep a couple of bottles in the back of the fridge for people like my Aunty, she would find this heavenly.
Excellent – What a lovely fruity bubbly wine-I have never been one to enjoy alcohol of any kind but a friend talked me into trying a glass of this and because I have a love of sweet things I was sold. So nice with nibblies or chinese food and a great drink in the summer for the festive season. So easy to enjoy....
