Lessini Durello Reserve 36 Months ($35)

85%+ Durella, a highly acidic variety and therefore well-suited to sparkling wine. Aged for three years on the lees. Extra weight comes from a small amount of Pinot Bianco in the blend. Grown on volcanic soils at 500m elevation. Even by Italian standards, the wine is particularly acidic balanced by the toasty, lees texture.
