De Bortoli’s Emeri line of sparkling wines are not conventional Pinot Noir-Chardonnay blends. This one is Pinot Grigio with bubbles, the usually muted aromas of the variety perked up to show grapefruit and fig notes. The wine is soft and fullish in body, with hints of fig coming through on the palate. ——J.C.(12/15/2010)—— 85

Comes across as a bit sweet and soft, with tropical fruit and a lush, creamy texture. Clean and well made, but lacks complexity and length. ——J.C.(2/1/2012)—— 84
