Barone Pizzini
Animante Extra Brut Franciacorta White Blend
Star bright straw gold with persistent small bubbles. Abundant nose of citrus and white flowers. Firm acidity leads the medium light body and intros a palate of satsuma and honeysuckle. An excellent companion to rich fare like pot pies, Alfredo sauces, and firm white fish. Your *real* Italian alternative to Champagne.

Aug 5th, 2018Pretty good. Has this round zestness to it. Yeasty and some spice, I primarily get lemon pound cake, and some acidity that comes with that.

May 23rd, 2018Great bubbles from Italy. Toasted brioche, Meyer lemons, and white flowers. Would be a great bottle to try again several years down the road. #saberit #bubbles #alpinewine

Oct 22nd, 2023Runner-up for Wine Of The Night but definitely the pleasant surprise of the night. Little funky nose and not particularly effervescent for a sparkler. Acidity is muted and feels like a “real wine” as opposed to those chemically enhanced science experiments that pass for luxury wine life in some quarters. Definitely would serve this to my most discerning guests like @Sam Shepard @Brendan Devine and if I could be so blessed, the GOATs of the wine world like @Ron R @Mike R @Willie Carter, a little something off the beaten path.
