Mama mia - this is the wine you've always wanted! Moretti wine club members undoubtedly know about our house prosecco, but when’s the last time you tasted this world class sparkler?  How about today!  Made from Glera grapes grown high in the hills of Valdobbiadene, considered the best growing zone for Prosecco due to its low yields, this sparkling wine unleashes a special fragrance of green apple, wisteria and a hint of rose that makes it ideal for special occasions or weeknight toasts.  The easy blend of fruit and acid is also an ideal pairing for nearly any cooked dish, which is why you'll find it in many of the valley's best restaurants.

"Sourced from Wenzlau, La Rinconada, Sanford & Benedict and Bentrock, the NV Grand Reserve Sparkling (2020 Base) was disgorged in February of 2023 with a dosage of four grams per liter, after spending 2.5 years on its lees. The nose is effortlessly fragrant and refined, offering citrus peel, green orchard fruit, nougat and crushed stone aromas. The palate is elegantly chalky and succulent, exuding a refinement of mousse that is so difficult to find in domestic sparkling wines. It finishes with fine, chalky details and an ethereal lift, gracefully attaining its intended mission statement: a high-toned Sta. Rita Hills blanc de blancs made with Champenois intentionality and precision. In a significant development for the Sta. Rita Hills, Racines combines the expertise of Etienne de Montille, Brian Seave and Rodolphe Péters, representing the first major Burgundian/Champenois outpost in Santa Barbara County. Winemaker Ryan Hannaford completes the quartet responsible for these superb wines that have gradually become more tailored to the region. A singular highlight of the range is the Grand Reserve Sparkling, which exudes a clarity and refinement of mousse that is nearly unparalleled in California, making it one of the best expressions of domestic sparkling wine I have tasted. The Chardonnays are aged in barrel and finished in tank, resulting in chiseled, focused expressions. The Pinot Noirs employ high percentages of whole clusters and judicious new wood, combining a modern polish with confident but refined structures. Vineyard sources remain some of the region's best—including Sanford & Benedict, La Rinconada and Bentrock—and a 23-acre estate vineyard is underway, supplemented by a long-term lease at Wenzlau." - Wine Advocate 94WA

"Light orange. Sharply focused red berry and tangerine scents are complicated by suggestions of allspice and cinnamon, with a hint of smokiness in the background. Sappy and minerally on the palate, offering fresh strawberry and blood orange flavors lifted by juicy acidity. Packs a serious punch but carries no excess weight and finishes stony and very long, with echoing red berry character." -Vinous, 92VM

"An enticing waft of fragrant spices draws you into the glass, where ripe and juicy black cherry and currant fruit is underscored by a clean swathe of underlying salinity. Details of pickled ginger, crystallized honey, biscuit and white blossoms expand nicely on the plush mousse, which is raw silk–like in feel. This is rich and expressive, with good depth, yet its chiseled acidity provides fine definition throughout. Mouthwatering finish. Disgorged February 2025. Drink now through 2035." -Wine Spectator, 94WS

"Apricot, almond paste, and brioche.  Lime zest and sea salt.  This sparkling is tight, crisp, and savory yet dry and invigorating.  Incredibly fine mousse with a persistent chalky elegance.  Showcases the warmth and graceful power of the 2018 vintage, the expanded texture of 37 months en tirage and the bracing, saline freshness from the Sta. Rita Hills AVA.  An absolute pleasure to drink today." -Matt Dees

"An amazing 2008 rosé Champagne that has all the structure and aromatic complexity - sushi ginger, oolong tea and caramelized mandarin orange - we associate with this vintage, but also has more charm than most. On the palate, this sparkling has stunning concentration, yet is diamond bright. The interplay of creaminess, fine tannins and mineral acidity builds and builds at the breathtaking finish. The color comes from about 7% pinot noir red wine, partly from the little-known Les Riceys in the far south of Champagne. Drink or hold." -James Suckling, 98JS

"Already gorgeously aromatically expressive, playing notes of delicate raspberry leaf and rose petals alongside exotic orange and grapefruit rind. There's an inherent freshness here, long cascading lines of acidity banked by uplifting minty notes. What a sexy wine, one that teases sweetness against bitter fruit skin, like biting voraciously into a plump succulent cherry and savoring its fleeting, electrifying impact. I love the toothsome, tasty fruit profile. The blend is 62% from the 2016 vintage, with 38% of reserve wines dating back to 2010, and 10% of Pinot Noir red wine, made up of 32 separately vinified wines from six different years. (Drink between 2024-2050)" -Decanter, 97DE
