The 2009 Metodo Classico Opere Trevigiane Brut Riserva shows deep perfumes of peach, apricot, candied fruit and baked bread. This is a Metodo Classico sparkling wine from a producer that excels at Charmat method Prosecco Superiore. The wine is lush, creamy and appropriately fruit forward. This Riserva can be served as a pre-dinner drink.

Opere Riserva spends five years aging in the historic underground cellars of Villa Sandi in order to achieve its unique aromas of yellow rose, yeast, dried grass and honey. The wine boasts a bright, fresh finish with lingering floral flavors on the close.——M.L.(7/1/2009)—— 90
