September 25, 2023 - Piedmontese sparkling wines are now projected into the Olympus of the finest sparkling wines. The creaminess and complexity of this wine demonstrate it, with ample acidity, citrusy hints, and those pastry-like, creamy, and buttery notes that enrich a truly intriguing nose. The persistence and finesse of the bubbles are incredible. I will taste every vintage.
le bollicine piemontesi sono ormai proiettate nell'olimpo dei migliori spumanti, la cremosità e complessità di questo vino lo dimostrano, tanta acidità, sentori agrumati e quelle note di pasticceria, cremose e burrose che arricchiscono un naso davvero interessante. La persistenza e finezza della bolla è incredibile. assaggerò ogni annata -

May 28, 2023 - Light yellow, fine bubbles.
A large fruity aromatic palette that is big and straightforward (simple).
Acidity is M++, rather thin, happy summery bubbly wine.
Quite pleasurable, but nothing to write home about. -

May 2, 2023 - Italian Wine Scholar Class at the Texas Wine School. 80% Pinot Noir and 20% Chardonnay aged at least 48 mos. on the lees. Med gold. Med to med+ notes of sourdough, green apple, lemon, herbs, hazelnut and wet stone. Youthful. Bone dry, w/ med+ to high acid, med alcohol (12.5%). Med body, w/ med to med+ intensity and length. Consistent w/ the palate, w/ slight grapefruit bitterness on the chewy finish. Great QPR. Tasted again 1/30/24 w/ consistent notes.
