James Suckling 91pt

This is fresh and vivid with notes of lemon-drops, sliced pears, guava, elderflower and crushed stones. Medium-bodied with chalky texture and some saline character. Fine mousse with a mineral finish.

Luca Maroni 91pt

Characterized by a fabulous softness and dense liveliness on the palate, the taste of this sparkling wine stands out with every sip. Clear fragrances, dense perlage, and a creamy extractive texture. A fruit characterized by a very pleasant taste.

Wine Enthusiast 90pt

Lemon, green apple, fresh white flowers and a touch of thyme flow from the glass on this Colfondo Glera. Notes of apple cider, sour green apples and crushed rocks show themselves on the palate with a hint of chamomile on the bright finish.

Tasting notes

Produced from the Glera grape in Northeastern Italy, Blancjat is a natural sparkling wine with apple and pear notes and a light hint of acacia flowers. The same notes dominate the palate with excellent acidity and balance. Perfect with a wide variety of lighter dishes because of its fine bubbles and complexity. Excellent with fish and white meat dishes but can also be enjoyed with pizza and appetizers.
