Cadoro Maschio Prosecco 8.5%

Well done to Maschio for bringing us this lower alcohol version of their classic Prosecco – an achievement at 8.5%.  It is forgivable and probably inevitable that it comes with a tendency towards sweetness (they describe it as demi-sec) but it is also rather bland, with a light bouquet and little to distinguish it.  So OK if the 8.5% is your main objective and you like a sweeter wine but otherwise likely to disappoint.
