NV Bella Terra Sparkling Rose | 92pts

Beautiful mousse and super lively bubbles. There is a lot of energy in this wine.

The nose is expressive with bright aromas of Maraschino cherry and tropical fruits. There is 10 g/l of residual sugar but a great acidity and low alcohol, which makes this sexy Bubbly very well balanced and appealing.

I bet the Vidal was harvested fairly early to preserve this great deal of acidity. The palate is filled with blueberry and raspberry. A very long expression on the mid-palate transitions slowly to peach and pineapple. There is a nice crisp and bright gingery finish to add an extra dimension.

Lively, fresh and versatile are some of the best descriptives for this well priced bottle of Bubbly. (Carl Boucher, August 11, 2023, Re-tasted September 15, 2024).
