Ratings & Reviews:

93 Points - Decanter Magazine:
"White nougat with toasted almonds and fresh sponge cake dominate the nose of this always-reliable Italian stalwart from the Alpine heights of Trentino. Made from estate-grown fruit only, this is an elegant sparkler with its vivid, altitude-induced freshness countered by subtle richness and supported by fine mousse. Purity, briskness, real depth and poise: you just want to take another sip." - Anne Krebiehl MW (Apr 2023)

92 Points - Vinous Media:
"The 2017 Brut Perlé Trentadoc blends vividly ripe apples and pear with enriching raw almond and white flower notes. It opens with a pretty inner sweetness contrasted by saline minerals that add a pleasant crunch as ripe orchard fruits give way to hints of hazelnut. Despite its size, the 2017 finishes remarkably fresh, ending with candied ginger and a sour tinge of Granny Smith." - Eric Guido (Dec 2023)
