Stefano Frascolla and Tua Rita have almost single-handedly put Suvereto on Italys winemaking map

An exceptionally ripe well-layered nose is comprised by notes of mocha

wild blueberries and black raspberries with touches of garrigue

There is both excellent volume and density to the relatively powerful and quite serious flavors that brim with minerality on the bone-dry if not really austere finish that just goes on and on

Ruinart, Blanc de Blancs Vintage:2007 Stefano Frascolla and Tua RitaThis graceful blanc de blancs is light on its feet and bright on the palate, yet the creamy mousse carries a concentrated range of honeyed apricot, Meyer lemon peel, white blossoms and almond pastry. Reveals hints of chalk, smoke and spices on the finish. Drink now.
