Score: 92 Vintage NV James Suckling This well-crafted sparkling is quite a discovery for us. It has plenty of Amalfi-lemon and wild-herb character from the grillo grape, fine mousse and excellent balance. Easy to drink, yet rather sophisticated. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
Score: 90 Vintage NV Wine Enthusiast A straw gold sparkler with a consistent, lively perlage that lifts clean aromas of lemons and hazelnuts. On the palate, grapefruit, yellow and green apple and a hint of white peach accentuate the lemon element, before more hazelnuts tumble over the finish. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
Score: 90 Vintage NV Vinous Media The NV Grillo di Santa Tresa opens with a pretty bouquet of crushed nectarines and peaches, lifted by a whiff of sweet herbs. It’s soothingly round with vibrant acidity that neatly offsets its inner sweetness as ripe orchard fruits settle on the senses. A twang of candied citrus lingers, accompanied by a hint of mint as this finishes with outstanding freshness. Read More Shelf Talker Full Page Review

Score: 89 Vintage NV James Suckling Peaches, apricots, lemons and biscuits on the nose. Some earthy notes, too. Light-to medium-bodied with crisp acidity, frothy bubbles and a lightly off-dry finish. From organically grown grapes. Vegan. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
Score: 89 Vintage NV Vinous Media The NV Brut Il Grillo di Santa Tresa is intense, showing tropical notes of pineapple and papaya with pungent florals and crushed stone. It fills the palate with round textures and a sweet bead of fine bubbles, nicely contrasted by sour citrus and saline-mineral tones. This leaves a vivid note of grapefruit rind through the long yet pleasantly juicy finale. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
Score: 88 Vintage NV Wine Enthusiast Made with organically grown Grillo grapes, this fun, fresh sparkler has delicate aromas of white spring flower, crushed herb and citrus. Crisp and savory, the bright palate offers Anjou pear, grapefruit and a note of white almond alongside vibrant acidity. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
Score: 88 Vintage NV James Suckling A very tropical-fruited sparkling wine that suggests pineapple and baked apples. Touch of sweetness on the palate and an uncoordinated burst of large bubbles. Drink now. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
