NV Bianchi Extra Brut Argentina 12% $22

This is intense on the nose with powerful aromas of raw bread dough, white peach, lemon, blood orange and white mushroom. The mousse is just a touch coarse here but this packs in lovely lemon, blood orange and bitter almond flavors framed by light brioche notes and a fine mineral and white cherry undertone. A little creaminess appears on the back end along with beautiful patisserie notes that flow over the fairly long finish over pithy citrus fruits. Awfully good stuff. 91pts

    Nine of the wines you have select are an excellent choice, but the one from Argentina I disagree, in this country we are developing outstanding sparkling wines, but the one from Bianchi you have choosen it´s not one off them, it´s good, but no enough to be in that list, I suggest you make some research, and you will find a lot of other superior wines to select.
