Not bad, some richness and crunchy acid structure, but could use a bit more autolytic toastiness and leesiness component to bring it all together. Still tasty, though.

A surprising sparkling with woody flavors. Like a white of blacks but Italian way. Tannins rather present that makes this wine special. The length in the mouth is short but the complex and mineral side allows to enjoy it at its fair value.
