Sordo Nebbiolo Spumante Brut Rose NV

I’ve always been a huge fan of the Sordo wines since being introduced to them a few years ago. This Spumante Brut Rose is a welcome addition to the list in my head titled ‘Italian sparkling wines that I should drink the next time I want to be seriously impressed’ (or something like that). It screams freshness and vibrancy – delicate pink fruits, spiced ginger, pomegranate and freshly baked muffins with strawberry compote. The palate is lively but has a lovely core of savoury complexity that indicates this would be an exceptional food match. Think vitello tonnato, or a simple platter of fennel taralli and hard salty cheese.
