Opera Wine 2017 - 100 Great Producers (Verona, Italy): Time has been kind to this bottle, with developed aromas and flavors marked by a bright, fresh acidity that ultimately makes this interesting and deeply enjoyable. It could have been that my palate was in desperate need of refreshing (having just tasted about 50 wines), or maybe that this is just that good. Based on experience with their vintage bottlings, I'd say the latter is a safe bet. If you see some on a wine list, or at auction, buy with confidence, it's still doing just fine, now and the next several years. recommended+
This is in fact non-vintage flagship brut, disgorged in 2010. Soft mousse, persistent play of bubbles. Attractive aromas of sugar dusted sweet buns, rounded on the palate, with good freshness and yellow fruit flavours. Good mid-palate volume. Leaves a mineral aftertaste. Tasted at home.
