Made with Chardonnay, Pinot Nero and Pinot Bianco grapes from the Vigne di Strevi in Piedmont, this is a linear, genuine sparkler with lemon-lime flavors and toasted bread notes that come through loud and clear. Easy to drink and easy to like. Imported by Banfi Vintners. ——M.L.(6/1/2006)—— 89

Encouraging aromas of bread dough and baked apple give way to a rubber note. Moderately flavorful in the mouth but somewhat mono-dimensional with a foamy mousse. Medium finish. Drink now.——W.E.(2/1/2010)—— 84
