"The 2022 Brut Metodo Classico wafts up with an incredibly fresh bouquet that blends wildflowers with stone dust, young peach and hints of ground ginger. This presents a lovely balance of creamy bubbles and tart orchard fruits, elevated by zesty acidity and notes of candied citrus toward the close. A cheek-puckering tension forms toward the close, simply begging the taster back to the glass for more. Disgorged: December 2023."

"It's not often that one finds complexity and balance in an affordably priced, traditional-method brut, but Murgo delivers. In doing so, we see that Nerello Mascalese is a versatile grape that successfully lends itself to bubbles. This wine opens with a hint of matchstick on the nose, which quickly transforms to grilled peach and apricot with a touch of cream. The bubbles are nicely structured, and there's good acidity. Coming across as dry on the palate, this is an excellent aperitif; pair it with prosciutto e melone and you are off to a great evening."

"The 2021 Brut Metodo Classico, a varietal Nerello Mascalese, opens with a spicy blend of ground ginger and lime zest, accentuated by crushed stones. This is chiseled and firm on the palate, with a burst of zesty, saline-tinged bubbles and tart orchard fruits that slowly saturate. Sour melon hints resonate as the 2021 finishes long and spicy, leaving a citrusy concentration pinging the cheeks."
