Villa Sandi, Opere Brut, Veneto, Italy

Villa Sandi may be known for their Proseccos, but they also produce this traditional method sparkling wine from Chardonnay and Pinot Noir grown in Veneto. It has a fairly accessible nose of green apple and brioche, with the additions of cream and sweet spices on the palate. It is quite intense and has a lovely long finish. A good alternative to a crémant from France.
