Tasting Notes
Casa Caterina are one of my favourite sparkling wine producers so I was looking forward to trying this. This is 100% Chardonnay that has spent 11 years on lees and is somehow still so fresh. I couldn't believe it! Layers upon layers of baked bread, ripe fresh apples, walnuts, lemon with so much depth and power. It reminded me of an aged release from Egly Ouriet that had spent a similar time on lees. Really impressed by everything that Casa Caterina does. - Pete L
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.
