Well done to the team at Cantine Ferrari for producing the best classic-method Italian Spumante!

San Cristoforo 2011:
“A wine with blueberry and minerals with hints of dried flowers. Full body, with fine tannins and a beautiful structure. Extremely elegant yet structured. Gorgeous Petit Verdot. This may be THE grape variety for the Maremma in the future. Already approachable but much better to leave it in the cellar for at least four or five years.”
