Tasting notes:

 Founded in 1875 by Italian immigrants, Casa Valduga is now recognised as one of the finest wine producers in Brazil. This sparkling wine is pale lemon-hued with tiny bubbles and a narrow cordon and is packed with crunchy strawberry and red apple fruit with a delicate fresh bread yeastiness. Off-dry, the palate flavours are framed by brisk acidity and brittle mousse texture. A lovely drink with watermelon, cucumber and feta cheese salad.  [Patricia Stefanowicz MW]
