As a generic sparkling wine this was fine - stone fruit-driven, sharp acidity, a sherbet note. Overall it's clean, precise and dry. I was hoping for some varietal character - the Nervi Conterno Rosato does this really well - along with red fruit notes and vinosity, which this definitely doesn't do. At this price there's much more interesting and higher quality wine to be had, often both at the same time.

Bright, beautiful color, well balanced, notes of tart cranberry, higher acidity pairs well with richer foods like risotto, brioche finish rounds out each sip. Would be a crowd pleaser at any Thanksgiving.

Very pale in color. This NV version is definitely missing some of the intensity and aromatics of the vintage versions I have had. Very light and crisp with some citrus and floral notes but no real discernable red fruit aromas or flavors. Good acidity and refreshing to drink but just not that exciting and a bit lacking in concentration.

Nice simple aperitif wine.
$82 at Reveler's Hour rapaciously priced list
$26 at Bassin's.
