The delicate freshness of Ballatore makes it a mostcharming sparkling wine. Inviting aromas reminiscent of ripe peaches and apricots combine to form a delightfully complex bouquet. Well-balanced and rich in varietal character, this sparkling wine refreshes with melony flavors and a crisp, clean finish.

Two things to know about this bubbly. It's slightly sweet, and it's rather rough in texture. Those bubbles are big and scoury. They almost make you sneeze. The lemon tart flavors are tasty.
