Popped and poured; no formal notes. Bright golden color; persistent mousse; lemon citrus, meringue, brioche for dayzzz. Fantastic acid. Long finish. Gastronomic bubbles but so good it can be enjoyed on its own. This is far and away the greatest sparkling wine I’ve yet had from Italy. A wow wine. Too bad it’s priced like tête de cuvée Champagne. Regardless, whenever someone is pouring it, you should shift your attention to this. “I know I would. Heck, I’d go back for seconds!” Drink now or over the next 10+ years.

As $$$$ as prestige cuvee #Champagne, &, dare I write it, just as good: rich marzipan creamniess leavened with citric snap. Awe yer guests this #holiday season, as few know Italian bubbly 🍾 from Trentino in the very north of #Italy, so-called “Trentodoc”👩⚕️
