Zero White Sparkling
82/100
The short takeAn easy-drinking sparkling white with a distinctive opening. The apple marmalade gives the nose character, while the soft mousse and light body make it an easy aperitif. Eighty-two, because the fragrance is the wine and the sip does not carry it.

In the glass
- Nose
- The nose opens with peach and apple marmalade, followed by a hint of honey. The apple has the concentrated fragrance of a preserve, with peach lending a softer fruit note.
- Palate
- Light-bodied, with a gentle mousse and a fresh edge that lifts the ripe fruit. The palate is brighter and less concentrated than the nose suggests. The ripe fruit stays in motion, and the body never takes on the weight the aroma had implied.
- Finish
- Short and clean, with a trace of ripe fruit that fades as the bubbles settle. Almost nothing remains once that bead goes quiet.

How wine-like is it?
Separate from the score. A convincing resemblance is not a higher rating.
Cooked-fruit depth in the aroma, then a brighter, lighter sparkling white that does not keep that depth.
The wine
What I keep is the moment before the first sip. Apple marmalade carries the depth of cooked fruit, peach arrives as the softer companion, and honey only shows up on a second pass through the glass. That fragrance promises more body than the wine will give.
The sip is the correction. Light, brighter, and less gathered than the aroma, it moves on a soft mousse and a fresh edge, and the ripe fruit never settles into the concentration the nose proposed. I do not want it to. An aperitif can live on that gap. The pleasure is the opening, not a second act.
Before dinner, this is the glass I would pour. A fragrant start and a clean departure are the whole request, and both are here. Once the bubbles go quiet, almost nothing remains to revisit. Eighty-two for a sparkling white that is easy, particular at the aroma, and finished as soon as the mousse is.
What keeps it from a higher mark is that the mouth does not take up the idea the aroma started. Preserved apple, softer peach, and that small honey note do their work before the sip, and the wine does not find a second one. A short close is the right shape for an aperitif. I still want it at that hour, because ease and a clean departure are the job, and the marmalade is the reason the first smell is worth having.

Research notes
The same page’s tasting line — white with golden hues, a fruity and floral perfume, balanced with freshness — is the importer’s, not this glass. It says the new offerings, including this bottling, are less than 0.5% ABV, and the Maschio paragraph calls the wine a 0.0% ABV expression. Both figures are kept.
