(Full disclosure: This wine was received as a press sample.) The Cristalino is somewhere in the middle, but what makes it special is its value. At $10, this palate and wallet friendly bubbly is enjoyable anytime. Very light and bracing with an acidic crispness that lends it a refined profile. A slightly overripe breath makes the briefest of appearances on the finish. Easily enjoyed and straightforward. A good to go bubbly for everyday drinking. And you've got to applaud the price tag.
Drink a glass of this after you get home from work as a way to shrug off the day and put you in a different frame of mind. So what if it's Tuesday?
