Score: 92Vintage NVJames SucklingThis 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.

Score: 89Vintage NVVinous MediaThe 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 TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage NVWine EnthusiastMade 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 TalkerFull Page Review
Score: 88Vintage NVJames SucklingA 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 TalkerFull Page Review
