2021 Diletta Tonello - Lessini Durello Spumante io Teti Brut (750ml)

Named for Teti, the Greek nymph of wind and water, this is 100% Durella from organically farmed volcanic clay soils between Verona and Vicenza, aged 36 months on the lees before disgorgement and at least three more months of cellar rest. Fine, persistent perlage with a creamy mousse; toasted bread and citrus on the nose, with a mineral, clean finish — think Champagne's structure with Italy's salty, volcanic snap. A criminally underrated category at a fraction of Champagne prices
