2/13/2023 - Emil Oliver Likes this wine: 89 pointsMedium golden. Intense nose of yeast, lemon, orange peel and gravel. A somewhat coarser nose than many Champagne, but it’s charming and interesting. |

10/22/2022 - Jochems Likes this wine: 90 pointsAnother example of how Alta Langa is developping as a great appelation of sparkeling wine that can compete head-to-head as an Italian alternative to Champagne alongside the Franciacorta wines. |

10/8/2022 - Condrieu82 Likes this wine: 92 pointsLight garnet color, long legs, minimal bricking. Bottle in mint conditions. The nose is very expressive, purely tertiary with leather, mushrooms, a bit of aromatic wood. Great acidity, integrated tannins, fantastic core of red cherries plus leather and forest floor and flowery notes still. This is so fresh - with a nice, medium long ending taht shows hints of sandalwood and incense. So good! |

9/2/2022 - wmccone54 wrote: 90 pointsMade in a “zero dosage” style which I gravitate toward. Comprised of 100% Pino Nero (Noir), aged on its lees for 43 months prior to disgorgement. I found out quickly, during the first glass, if you drink this too cold, you’ll miss some of the nuance and complexity. Displays a medium salmon color, medium effervescence of tiny bubbles and medium alcohol. Once the wine gets some air and starts to warm, there’s notes of yeastiness, bread, tart raspberries, wild strawberries, ruby red grapefruit, and some salty minerality. Slightly austere in the mouth with medium plus acidity. Finishes strong and long. Somewhat young, can drink now or drink through 2035+. |

6/20/2022 - Ksquare Likes this wine: 90 pointsNose started by being very reductive, flinty even. Blows away to reveal cherries. Palate is simple, similar to the other barolos opened today, red cherries - perhaps a tad thin and drying on the palate. |
