    Interesting and worthy concept, but can't help thinking this grape
    makes a better off-dry still white.

  • A little off-dry, but really well made with good lift and focus, nice mouthfeel and length. 90-92

  • This is the result of an attempt to create a classic method southern Italian sparkler from the local falanghina, with the assistance of expertise from the Champagne region.
    I must say San Gregorio is succeeding quite well in what it set out to do some years ago. I find lots of vanilla and yeasty notes in the nose accompanied by white/ yellow fruit. The corresponding palate adds some chalk, yellow apple with citrus and orange. The overall impression is quite refined, yet not very dry.
    Different from champagne and franciacorta and that makes it interesting, but also somewhat difficult to assess.

  • This was quite average. Don't have notes, but had once before with same impression. I prefer a good franciacorta over this.
