Yeah, saw this and had to get it. Sangiovese Spumante? Was better than I expected too. Traditional style, 36 months in the lees. Super creamy. Straw yellow and lively. The bubbles just dance in your mouth and sing a complimentary song of light grapefruit and a salty kiss. Delicious!
Saw this summary online later: The winemaker “been experimenting with new ways to use Sangiovese and the idea of making a sparkling wine came after a poor harvest when the grapes did not fully ripen. Rather than try and make a poor Brunello he decided to make something different…”

10-year-old Sangiovese from Brunello made into Spumante, fascinating and utterly unique, faint bubbles, served cold, just a tad off-dry, I literally have no frame of reference for this, other than to say I love its uniqueness!! — 6 days ago
