Hi Johan, oh no, the sweet "Asti" is mostly for children and women... Cinzano Riserva is a good one, though, as you say, not the absolute best, but a good compromise price-wise.
IMHO the best Italian "spumante" is that produced in the zone around the town of Brescia, the Franciacorta zone (the name is misleading, though it contains the characters Francia, it has nothing to do with the country of Robespierre. Franciacorta means "Free Court", a zone of free market [in the middleage]). One of the best brands of that zone is the Ferrari Brut (no relationship with racing cars), which, IMHO, is much better than any French "champagne", not to mention the mix of water, sugar and some alcohol produced by the Christian Brothers in California... :-) HNY 73 Alberto I2PHD -------------------------------- Johan Bodin wrote: > > Which brand of bubbly ?
