From Francis Coppola, the Sofia's sweet floral aromas, peach and pear flavors are paired with a very soft mouthfeel. Consider a neo-Muscato but with decidedly lower acidity than the best of those Italian sparklers. It can look rose in it's lovely cellophane wrap, but it isn't. Will make a great gift, with broad appeal to those who prefer soft and sweet bubbly.——W.E.(12/1/2001)—— 83
