Fresh and clean, lots of citrus notes, along with a good amount of bubbles. Delicious.

A wonderful Italian sparkler in the champagne method! Delish and fun to have some Pinot bianco and Nero in there!

Thanksgiving dinner with London Lees Grafs and at Emily’s request. Nicely balanced nitty profile with fine fast dissipating bubbles.

Visit to Yuki/Jeff’s home. interesting Italian sparkling of Chardonnay. Not many bubbles, good yeasty notes with mature fading fruits and long acidic finish. Went with appetizer and pasta.

Lightly toasted yeasty bread and the barest hint of citrus rind without any of the tartness. Bubbly without being frothy.

Crisp toasty flavors on the nose with velvety bubbles and hints of lemon zest. Clean finish with a trace of minerality. Definitely a good sparkling wine.
