2021 | Nino Franco Riva di San Floriano | Valdobbiadene Le Baron de Brane Just a hint of volatile

Just a hint of volatile acidity that also serves to add a bit of lift to the liqueur-like aromas of plum

I love the quality of the brambled blackberry and loganberry fruit here

A sheath of rugged tannins and a vein of gentle acidity wrap around flavors of cherry pie

The 2022 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sonoma County) is elegant

The white from Simone is a truly unique creation based primarily on Clairette that is supplemented with Grenache Blanc

2021 | Nino Franco Riva di San Floriano | Valdobbiadene Le Baron de Brane Just a hint of volatileFrom one of the denomination's most iconic winemakers, this single vineyard sparkler shows the serious side of Valdobbiadene. Opening with delicate scents of white spring flowers and white stone fruit, it's the elegant, understated palate that is the showstopper, delivering creamy white peach, ripe green apple and a hint of lemon drop alongside an extremely refined perlage. Delicious. 93 Pts Wine Enthusiast
