This is a sparkling wine made in the traditional method from 100% Pinot Nero (Pinot Noir) grapes.  Light golden in color, clear and bright with a nice mousse of many tiny bubbles.  The nose is concentrated (and lovely) with almonds, Vernor's Soda and slight Brioche.  Medium to full bodied.  Well balanced.  On the palate, this is quite tasty.  Dry.  Good acidity.  Flavors of ginger with some almond.  Good finish.  Overall, this is a lovely sparkling wine that is nice on its own but better with food.  Drink over the next seven to ten years.
