Very pale straw in color, this sparkler delivers measured aromas of honeydew, pear and crushed stone. It’s a direct and genuine wine that delivers the goods at an attractive price. Tasty and clean in the mouth. Imported by Zonin USA. ——M.L.(6/1/2006)—— 87

Perfectly fine bubbly, with a pale color and fine bead, citrusy, gingery flavors and a short, dry finish. Best as an aperitif. ——J.C.(12/15/2004)—— 85

Sort of sweet and candied for a blanc de blancs, with sugary apple and mango flavors. On the palate there’s a touch of offsetting citrus, primarily white grapefruit and orange, but the overriding characteristic is one of sweet, almost cloying white fruits. It’s not bad but it’s also not very zesty. Imported by Zonin USA. ——M.S.(12/15/2005)—— 84
