Dino Illuminati delivers an impressive sparkling wine the 2009 Metodo Classico Brut Millesimato. It opens to a golden straw color and shows pretty highlights of peach cobbler, creamy vanilla and poached pear. The quality of the perlage is delicate and persistent and the natural weight of the wine coats the palate in an even and steady manner. There aren't many sparkling wines made in Abruzzo, and only a handful share this level of quality.
