Tasting Notes
The Del Bono Brothers are a phenomenon! From vineyards in the Franciacorta zone of Lombardy, the brothers make sparkling wines with zero additions that arrive from biodynamically farmed vineyards that have never seen a synthetic Herbicide or Pesticide Sprayed. Aurelio takes his inspiration from time working for Anselme Selosse by producing wines with greater fruit ripeness than the rest of the zone, resulting in a wine that is generous and opulent aromatically but that finishes with laser like precision from lack the lack of Dosage. - Importer Note
Casa Caterina is fast becoming my favourite sparkling producer. The variety of styles and approach to their winemaking is exactly what I love about sparkling wines. A couple of us from the shop got together for a BBQ and we started with this and were all blown away. It's a kaleidoscope of all things strawberry as it's 100% Pinot Noir, creamy, hints of spice and brioche from the extended time on lees. I have plans to drink many of these over the summer. - Pete L
