Description
These Festive Five sparkling wines say celebrate in any language or locale. A collection of some of the world's best bubblys that you might be hard pressed to find without a bit of travel. The L. Vitteaut Alberti Brut Rose is a beautifully made Crement de Bourgogne, poised elegant and satifying. The Metico Prosecco, Veneto offers the light body and bright acidity you can expect of the Veneto region. A fresh NV sparkler from respected winemaker Catherine Champalou in Vovray offers "a lovely green and grassy nose. Very fresh, delicate green flavours on the palate". Ferrari has won Gambero Rosso's coveted Tre Bicchieri award for 13 vintages in the past couple of decades and the Ferrari Trento 2002 offers a great example of why. 'Vinography' dubbed it "incredibly drinkable and delicious". The Brut NV Le Berceau Blanquette de Limoux is a dry, creamy-textured sparkler with a fine yeasty character present in the aroma, with subtle and fresh fruit flavors of green apple and lemon and a clean finish." It is said that Blanquette de Limoux was the world's first sparking wine dating back to the 1500's. Celebrating is a global tradition, why not taste the worlds best bubbly ways to do it?
