The 10 best Italian wines of the year by BIBENDA

Our sparkling traditional method Terzavia,   single vintage grillo 100%, has been listed in the Top Ten of BIBENDA 2016 guide, that defined these 10 labels “the wines of the soul, of the mind and of the hearth.”

The criteria choosen to evaluate the top ten, among a pletora of 25,000 wines tasted, were so distant from the standards of the “Bibenda” approach. They applied indeed some “standards that must be ignored, suggestions to generally avoid, a sensibility to control, and even to fight against to.”
