A pure expression of Chardonnay, the 2012 Trento Metodo Classico Perlé Brut has aged on its yeasts in bottle for five years. You really can’t get better value for a classic-method sparkling wine than this. The wine opens to soft and fine beading with rich flavors of lemon mousse, baked peach and cream-filled brioche. You taste the natural richness of the Chardonnay grape at the heart of this wine. – M.L.
