Digorged on 04.2021. Less fascinating than the previous year. Still a beautiful nose of caramelized pear, rhubarb, rosemary and salty almond. The palate is more dull, lacks vibrancy and freshness. Still a good start to the evening.s

One of my favourite traditional sparkling wines. Catarratto grapes, 24 months on lees. Rich and profound. Marzipan, baked apples, salt and milk chocolate. Flavours of apples, marzipan and flowers. Long aftertaste. Great wine with only one drawback - lack of freshness.

Now this is something unique, a traditional method blanc de blancs from Sicily! It spent 24 months on the lees. Red citrus, medical herbs, marzepan, salt, ripe apples and oil. Well balanced, evolving and long finish. Flavours of iodine and ripe apple. Amazing sparkling. I just can't stop enjoying it. Really like the balance between flower and fruit notes.
