Always read ingredient lists from the original source (follow the link from the "Instructions" field) in case an ingredient has been incorrectly extracted from the original source or has been labeled incorrectly in any way. Moreover, it is important that you always read the labels on every product you buy to see if the product could cause an allergic reaction or if it conflicts with your personal or religious beliefs. If you are still not sure after reading the label, contact the manufacturer.

Prosecco, Moscato d'Asti, and Late Harvest Riesling are my top picks for Apple Pie. These dessert wines have the right amount of sweetness and light, fruity flavors that won't overpower apple pie. The Ruffino Lumina Prosecco ( Split) with a 4.3 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 9 dollars per bottle.

Ruffino Lumina Prosecco ( Split)

Ruffino Prosecco has been produced from grapes grown in the hilly area of Valdobbiadene, which is the most historically vocated region for the production of Prosecco.Bright straw yellow with fine bubbles. The bouquet is fragrant and intensely fruity. It shows clean notes of apples, pears and citrus, accompanied by slight hints of hawthorn, wisteria and elder. Crisp, clean and delicate with fine bubble caressing. Intense sensations of apples and peaches drive a pleasant aftertaste, that is reminiscent of fruity and floral aromas.Ideal as an aperitif; it is very versatile as a food companion. Ruffino Prosecco perfectly matches with pizza, fish and shellfish dishes as well as white meat dishes.Please note, the label for Ruffino Prosecco is in the process of changing. You may receive either of these two labels featured above. Specific labels cannot be requested.
