Taste is debatable. Everyone must decide for himself which Italian sparkling wine best suits his personal taste. Is it possible to say which is the best Italian sparkling wine? Blick reader Claudio Castelrotto’s question is not an easy one.

A possible solution emerges from the reviews of leading wine professionals who taste Italian sparkling wines regularly and widely. Parker’s wife, Monica Larner, 53, in Italy, has already tasted more than 1,000 different Italian sparkling wines for the “Wine Advocate” trade publication. Top mark: An impressive 98 points out of 100 possible points.

Trentodoc and Franciacorta score points

Larner’s highest-rated Italian sparkling wine to date is the Ferrari Trento Demokrato Classico Extra Brut Rosé Giulio Ferrari Riserva del Fondatore from the 2006 vintage. Unfortunately, this dream rating is also reflected in the market price: this sparkling wine is now under 250 francs per person not. Having a 0.75 liter bottle. Franciacorta is also flying high on Larner, with several 95-point examples.

Eric Guido of the trade publication “Vinous” gave 96 out of 100 possible points for the 2013 Franciacorta Dosage Zero Riserva Annamaria Clementi from Ca’ del Bosco. However, this fine wine is no longer sold in specialist retailers for less than 100 francs per 0.75 liter bottle. So are sparkling wines Italy’s best? If you want to answer this question yourself, there is a second solution: Cheers!
