Looking for Italian Sparkling Wine

[TexasWook]

Botafogo,

No the bottle was clear...the wine itself was blue...it was the strangest thing, I've had champagne/Sparkling Wine before and aside from the Moet Chandon Nectar (I believe that's the proper name) this was far better than anythign I've ever had. Our tour guide said it was a common appertif to be drank before dinner (while we were all still sober).

We brought back several bottles of wine and the two we have tried still had the "flavor" that we experienced in Italy.

I appreciate any help.
