TOP 100 ITALIAN WINES OF 2017: This remains one of the top sparkling wines of Italy with such density and agility. It is real competition to the top cuvée Champagnes of France. Aromas of essence of lemon and hints of bread dough. Some stone and minerality, too. Full body. Complex pie crust and bright fruit. Flavorful finish. A solid and intellectual sparkling wine. Drink or hold. -JS
