This is a Asti spumante from the 1986-vintage that the producer decided to leave in the cellar. It was bottled in late 2010.
Lightly golden colour. The mousse has matured and not that much left. The nose is aromatic and muscaty, but clearly evolved. Hints
of spices, flowers, orange-peel and some earthy character. Fullbodied in the mouth. Sweetness pretty much gone and this is drier
than expected. The fruit shows the typical spicey character of the grape. Aromatic hints, but with an aged earthy character and
also hints of naphthalene. Medium acidity and decent length. Interesting, more than successful. But it shows that good things can
happen with aging such a wine.
Arnt Egil Nordlien Tasting note: July-11
