Wine Review: Light yellow Sparkler from Italy opens with lots of medium streaming bubbles. On the nose, it displays a fresh bread dough bouquet with hints of lemon and green apple. On the palate, this wine is bubbly, acidic and zesty. The flavor profile features a mineral infused green apple and brioche blend with hints of almond and lemon. The finish is dry and refreshing. This would be a nice party opening wine. I would pair it with a quiche Lorraine appetizer.

Winemaker Notes: A lively, bright straw yellow. The perlage is fine and persistent. A fresh and intense bouquet, with a broad fruity note of ripe Golden Delicious apples, white flowers and a delicate scent of yeast, deriving from more than two years’ ageing in bottle. Harmonious and well-balanced, with a faint suggestion of ripe fruit and attractive hints of crusty bread.
