Let’s just say when a knowledgeable wine journalist talks about one of your partners like this, you can’t blame us for being just a little bit proud. Thank you Tom Hyland for recognizing the greatness that is Nerello Mascalese and the talent that is Azienda Agricola Murgo<\/a>! Read the full article on Italy’s sparkling wines in Forbes online here<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The finest sparkling wines from Sicily in my mind are produced by Murgo.<\/strong> Their vintage dated Extra Brut, crafted entirely from Nerello Mascalese, spends between 5 and 6 years on the lees, and is very dry, with good acidity. This has the complexity and yeastiness you find in the finest sparkling wines and there is also great freshness – the 2004 tasted recently is tasting out beautifully. This cuv\u00e9e most assuredly can take its place in a discussion of Italy’s finest sparkling wines.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/www.northberkeleyimports.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/01\/MURGO_extrabrut_web.jpg” alt=”vesselle oeil de perdrix” title_text=”vesselle oeil de perdrix” show_bottom_space=”off” align=”center” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” admin_label=”Image” _builder_version=”3.23.3″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”on” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row padding_mobile=”off” column_padding_mobile=”on” parallax_method_1=”off” admin_label=”Row” _builder_version=”3.22″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” make_fullwidth=”off” use_custom_width=”off” width_unit=”on” global_module=”2353″][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.0.47″][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=”off” _builder_version=”3.0.87″ border_width_all=”0px” border_color_all=”#d46d32″ border_style_all=”solid” custom_padding=”5px|5px|5px|5px” use_border_color=”on” border_color=”#d46d32″ border_style=”solid” hide_prev=”off” hide_next=”off”][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" With praise like this, why would you drink anything else?
