Sparkling Pointe Brut Nature (750ml) *

Bone dry by design, this Brut Nature carries no dosage, which means none of the sugar that softens most sparkling wine gets added back before the bottle is sealed. It comes from Sparkling Pointe on the North Fork of Long Island, part of a small New York category devoted to sparkling wine made in the traditional method, with the second fermentation happening in the bottle itself. Expect the lean, unsweetened style that lets the fruit and the fine bead speak without any padding.
