Greg Hughes rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

This is one of Villa Sandi's more premium offerings, from the DOCG of Valdobbiadene. This area gets a lot more sunshine than the plains or Conegliano and it's pretty high up, which means the wine will be ripe and concentrated. This is consistent with Oris - it's juicier than entry level Sandi.
Persiste t bubbles, with a pale yellow hue.
This cuvee says 'dry,' but in prosecco lingo that can actually carry a lot of sweetness. This one is the drier side of the sweetest category for prosecco.
The aromas have great, sunny fruit to them. Pineapple, banana, and golden apple.
On the palate, almond, royale icing, and more tropicailty.
Though sometimes sunnier areas in Valdobbiadene incorporate the Perera grape in the blend with Glera (though Glera has to be 85%, it is often +90%). That would be the most obvious reason why this one has so much banana and yellow plum, on top of Glera's white fruit purity. The winemaker's site does not provide much evidence, though they do grow Perera.

Unquenchable by Natalie MacLean

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

The Financial Times of London

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
