Farnese Fantini Cuvée Cococciola Spumante NV
Abruzzo, ItalyThis Abruzzo fizz is from 20-30 year old cococciola grapes, produced in the charmat method and bottled to be fresh, lively and light. In addition to its distinctive bejewelled label, the squat bowling pin bottle allows for more of the wine to be submerged in ice at a time - smartly, because the zesty white grapefruit, citrus, unripe pear and green apple fruit show their best when chilled and tight. Simple, dry alternative to prosecco, drink with assorted canapés to refresh the palate.Tasted: 25 March 2016Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $20.30 | 750ml | private wine shops |
