BISSON "Abissi" Brut Methodo Classico $90; Special 20% off six bottle case -- $72/btl!

With "Abissi," winemaker Piero Lugano solved a practical problem -- not enough storage -- with an elaborate, watery solution: aging his sparkling "methodo classico" wines underwater off the coast of Portofino.

Made from local grapes Vermentino and Bianchetta Genovese, BISSON "Abissi" offers entrancing aromas of wildflower blossoms, hay, and wild herbs. In the mouth, very fine bubbles float the notes of citrus peel, peach, spice, and chalk. As the wine opens up in the glass, flavors deepen and become more layered and complex. This fascinating and delicious sparkling will make any occasion even more memorable!   

Save on Six! 20% off the very cool six-bottle case!
