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…”

AJ 90/100 - Mi sono avvicinato a questo rosso con una "indigestione" di bollicine, ma non posso non apprezzarlo! Rosso granata tipico, fitto, naso con frutta in conserva, rosa, note di bosco, note salmastre, forse lievemente animale, può risultare sgraziato a chi non ama questo genere di aromi, in bocca potente ma fine, incredibile acidità e freschezza, finale infinito. Per me comunque un grande vino. — 11 years ago
Non troppo dolce,non troppe bollicine. Profumi di camomilla, salvia e pera. Equilibrato e non stucchevole. Non amo il moscato ma questo è davvero buono. — 12 years ago

Ottimo, bollicine fini, begli aromi, più acidità che mineralitá. Meritava qualche altro mese in bottiglia! — 10 years ago

Hands down, it is arguably the best ancestrale I have ever tasted. And it even can compete with serious bubbles. So let's call Cicala annoying for its price (hehe, annoying Cicala; you get it, right?) and vinous for its qualities.
Honey, spoiled apricot, curry, Mivina spices, soap, potato chips, tropical fruits. Complex, generous and persistent. Fresh and a bit salty in the finish. I absolutely love the iodine touch.

Thumbs up for Laurent Perrier Champagne Rose' - nice alternative to the more glamorous bollicine. Prefer to pair the rose' to steamed shrimps salad and seafood salad Russian style. — 8 years ago

Light. Not much in the way of flavor apart from green apple but that is fine with me. Great price. — a year ago
