The 2007 Trento Metodo Classico Brut Perlé Rosé is made with Chardonnay and Pinot Nero. This rose-colored sparkler opens to beautiful aromatic intensity with dried cranberries, cassis, toasted almond and white cherry. This bottle was disgorged in 2013. The mouthfeel is tonic and tight with a great sense of fullness, aged complexity and refreshing acidity at the back.

The first metodo classico rose in Italy, this sparkler has a peachy-pink color and aromas that span from peach to yeast. The wine makes a strong impact on the palate with a velvety fruity texture and a long finish. Definitely up to accompanying an entire meal from antipasto through dessert.——M.L.(12/15/2004)—— 87
