Medium bodied, high acidity, dry, crisp rose sparkler made from 60% pinot noir and 40% chardonnay. Grapefruit, blood orange, cherry, subtle herbal notes. Tasty and a med/long finish with mineral and grapefruit notes lingering on palate. — a month ago

Really intense structure and firm tannins. Would do well with another 5+ years aging. Displays wild cherry, earthy/tar quality, licorice and wood influence. — 5 months ago

New-mown hay, blackberry brambles on the nose. Intensely fruit forward, but not sweet or cloying. Raspberries and blackberries. Light tannic structure, with mint and back pepper low notes, but it develops a pleasing minerality on its surprisingly long finish. I don’t know anything about this vintage, but it seems like it was grown on volcanic soils. The front reminds me of a Beaujolais Nouveau, but the finish is much more complex. A unique profile combination that I’ve never tasted before. Lovely. — 6 months ago

These are some of my favorite Mountain Nebbiolo. ArPePe actually ages the Riserva before releasing. — 10 months ago

9.4

Popped and poured; no formal notes. Bright golden color; persistent mousse; lemon citrus, meringue, brioche for dayzzz. Fantastic acid. Long finish. Gastronomic bubbles but so good it can be enjoyed on its own. This is far and away the greatest sparkling wine I’ve yet had from Italy. A wow wine. Too bad it’s priced like tête de cuvée Champagne. Regardless, whenever someone is pouring it, you should shift your attention to this. “I know I would. Heck, I’d go back for seconds!” Drink now or over the next 10+ years. — 3 years ago

Floral, tarry, delicate candied red fruits as well, great acidity and balance, likely very close to fully mature, but the combination of delicacy and depth is intoxication, great old Spanna!! — 8 months ago

Medium ruby , wide light pink ruby rim . Quite aromatic on the nose with ripe red cherry , hints of thyme , rosemary and mint , with some wet stones hints . On the palate this has good freshness with vibrant acidity , red cherry and cut herbs along with a light stony , mineral character . Ripe , quite light tannins and good raspberry , herbal tinged length . Well made , vibrant and fresh . From now and over the next 3-4 years whilst it retains its youthful fruitiness . — 5 months ago

9.1

Spicy dried red fruits with a touch of tar underneath, I detect that this 2003 is a touch more structured and tannic than the great 2000 I had a few days ago, long finish, great acid, still quite fresh (plus 12.5% ABV), excellent!! — 8 months ago
