The 2007 Sparkling Chardonnay is medium straw-colored with a delicate mousse, excellent mineral and white fruit flavors, a stylish personality, and a crisp, lengthy finish. Both of these sparkling wines are excellent values for drinking over the next 1-2 years. Alma Negra (“dark soul”) is a collaboration between Ernesto Catena and Alex Bartholomaus, son of pioneer importer Alfredo Bartholomaus.Importer: Billington Imports, Springfield, VA; tel.
