Angioletti Secco Italian Craft Cider (5.0% ABV, 500ml). Made from 100% Italian apple juice, which probably means they don't grown their own apples. No sugar nor any other additives except sulphites.
Pale clear yellow in colour, with a small head. Very much like a spumante. Sherbet-like, winey aroma of white grapes, lemon, faint tart apples. Medium body, lively carbonation. Initial flavour, too, is closer to a prosecco than an English cider: White grapes, some floral notes, then some tart apples a little while later. Lemon, yeast. Grape flavour is still dominant, with mild tannins in the finish, lingering acidity of lemon in the aftertaste. Just like a prosecco, this would go well with fish & seafood. If you're looking for a pronounced apple-y taste, look elsewhere. 7/10.
