#35 TOP 100 CELLAR SELECTIONS 2020. Drop-dead gorgeous, this radiant sparkler opens with lovely aromas of white spring flower, pastry dough and white stone fruit. Smooth and silky, the radiant palate delivers Bartlett pear, golden apple, lemon zest and mineral that lead into a bone-dry finish. Small, continuous bubbles provide the silky background while vibrant acidity lends energy and remarkable freshness. It’s already fantastic but will continue to age beautifully for years. Drink through 2028.
The sparkling wines of Champagne have been revered by wine drinkers for hundreds of years, and even today they maintain their reputation for excellence of flavor and character, and are consistently associated with quality, decadence, and a cause for celebration. Their unique characteristics are partly due to the careful blending of a small number of selected grape varietals, most commonly Chardonnay and Pinot Noir. These grapes, blended in fairly equal quantities, give the wines of Champagne their wonderful flavors and aromas, with the Pinot Noir offering length and backbone, and the Chardonnay varietal giving its acidity and dry, biscuity nature. It isn't unusual to sometimes see Champagne labeled as 'blanc de blanc', meaning it is made using only Chardonnay varietal grapes, or 'blanc de noir', which is made solely with Pinot Noir.
Country
Italy
There are few countries in the world with a viticultural history as long or as illustrious as that claimed by Italy. Grapes were first being grown and cultivated on Italian soil several thousand years ago by the Greeks and the Pheonicians, who named Italy 'Oenotria' – the land of wines – so impressed were they with the climate and the suitability of the soil for wine production. Of course, it was the rise of the Roman Empire which had the most lasting influence on wine production in Italy, and their influence can still be felt today, as much of the riches of the empire came about through their enthusiasm for producing wines and exporting it to neighbouring countries. Since those times, a vast amount of Italian land has remained primarily for vine cultivation, and thousands of wineries can be found throughout the entire length and breadth of this beautiful country, drenched in Mediterranean sunshine and benefiting from the excellent fertile soils found there. Italy remains very much a 'land of wines', and one could not imagine this country, its landscape and culture, without it.
Region
Lombardy
The beautiful north westerly wine region of Lombardy in Italy is home to many of the country's most characterful and well respected wines, most of which are grown on the shores of the stunning Lake Garda. The lake itself plays a vitally important part of the region's viticulture, as the climate around the river is cooler than in surrounding areas, thus tempering the heat of the vineyards and allowing the vines which grow there to ripen more slowly. For centuries, Lombardy wines have been considered amongst the finest in Italy, and today, the wine industry of the region is doing very well indeed. With wineries in Lombardy utilizing a successful blend of traditional and modern techniques, they are continually producing wines which express the excellence of the terroir the vines are grown on, and which contain fascinating and unique flavors and aromas.

A dense, layered sparking wine with lots of cooked-apple, cooked-pastry and pie-crust aromas and flavors. It’s full and thick, yet the very fine bubbles provide tension and form. Turns dry and solid at the end. A sparkling wine that develops on the palate and delivers it all. Drink now.

Contrasting zesty spice, ginger cookie, yellow citrus and floral perfumes, the 2010 Franciacorta Annamaria Clementi is a Dosage Zero blend of 55% Chardonnay, 25% Pinot Bianco and 20% Pinot Noir that keeps you at the edge of your seat. Rich hazelnut, dried peaches and mineral tones can be found throughout. It’s deeply textural with a deceptive ripeness to its inner fruits which is quickly wisped away by stimulating acidity. This finishes long and sapid with hints of raw honey, but it’s also wonderfully refreshing. Enjoy this in a large-bowled glass to watch it really come to life. The 2010 Annamaria Clementi will give your favorite Champagne a run for its money. Disgorged: Summer, 2018.
