"A cheap méthode champenoise summer fizz with elegance and attitude, expect plenty of smoky, scented, lemony fruit with this pleasing Spanish cava, coupled with a tart, tangy finish - just what you would expect from a youthful Codorníu bubbly that has around 12 months' ageing on lees, or yeasty sedement - three months longer than the compulsory time."

"At the humblest level, Spanish cava when it's good is often just the ticket for parties, and, dare I suggest it, weddings. Both the crisp new Cava Calamino NV, and redcurranty Calamino Rosé, fit the bill."
