This is the Maison's base Champagne and yet it is quite enjoyable with its color slightly more greenish than yellow, its elegant effervescence, defined bouquet and taste, precise and persistent. For sure it will not stand out for its complexity, but at this price it is difficult to find anything better.

A great jug of Champagne even if this millésimé is not among those that will go down in history. But we should not be influenced by such prejudices and so let's analyze this wine starting with its lovely, not-too-dark canary yellow color. Then there are the bubbles which are delicate yet persistent. The nose is very captivating, quite solar, of seasoned hay and golden apples. The taste is very clean, upright, fresh and complex. What more could one ask?

In Franciacorta they have been focusing recently a lot on producing wines without 'le dosage', that is without any addition of a 'liquer d'expedition' syrup. What they are aiming for is a wine with greater character and personality, perhaps more in line with the requests of a ever-growing number of consumers who are more enologically aware. At Montensia they have succeeded in this and this blanc de blanc is quite convincing also for its overall refined elegance.

I have to admit that this wine knocked me off my feet. When Prompicai had me taste it he warned me: you are about to drink a peculiar Friulano. When I brought it to my nose there was a gushing bouquet of successive and absolute particular scents: flowers and white fruit, anise, grapefruit, roses, cut grass. For sure I missed some of them but overall it was all very captivating also for the very pleasing taste, even if it was less diversified.

This was consumed right after its Friulano brother. I was expecting to receive who knows what kind of slap to the nose, instead I found a very rigorous Sauvignon, fortunately not extremely so, genuinely diversified and a taste of a rare minerality. Thus a lovely and pleasurable DR0P.

If you like aromatic wines, those which strongly recall their grape of origin, that age well and do not have any of the forced or tiring characteristics which some producers put in their wines, then this fine Sauvignon from Alto Adige is for you.

OK, you already know how I love Verdicchio, but how can I not go on about such a white which is 'only' 12 years old? The color is quite a bright yellow, the taste is full, solid, very fresh, savory, persistent, while the bouquet changes minute by minute is a procession of exotic fruits, anise, white fruit, grass and Mediterranean brush. A great wine without any 'ifs', 'ands' or 'buts', unfortunately this was the last bottle.
