This is a light and refreshing fizzy white, and is a bargain. I used it for a tasting and it went down a storm. It uses the Glera grape, which is the same as is used for Prosecco. However, this wine is produced just outside the proscribed geographical area for it to carry the Prosecco name. This, together with it being shop's own brand, means that it is much lower price than it would otherwise be.
