Product detailed description

Sparkling wine produced using the traditional method of bottle aging for 30 months.  The pearling is very gentle and very persistent. The aroma has high intensity, complexity with notes mainly  fruits with white flesh such as pear, peach, followed by toasted dried fruit and fresh bread.  The typical structure of the Pinot Noir variety stands out in the mouth, which combines well with fresh acidity. 

Vinification takes place in such a way that the grapes are  harvested in 20 kg crates and directly poured into  into the press, where they are pressed gently and carefully. The resulting must is placed in temperature-controlled tanks, where it is statically decanted, and then sent to the cider house for fermentation. Vinification is in stainless steel tanks at a low temperature (18-20 °C). At the end of fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with the must. At the end of fermentation, the wine is kept in contact with the wine. In this phase, cuvée is created by mixing wines from different selected varieties. In the spring, the wine follows a second fermentation, in the bottle, followed by aging on the lees, in a cool, dark and humid and dark  environment with the strictest Metodo Classico rules for sparkling wines.

The cuvée is blended to create a fresh, fruity wine. The aging period, which is never shorter than 30 months, gives the wine the right aromatic complexity. The color is straw yellow with green highlights. The bouquet is reminiscent of honey, peach with white fruits, grapefruit and basil. In the mouth, the wine is spicy with an enveloping bubble and a long, sweet finish. Excellent as an aperitif, but above all - thanks to its indisputable individuality - an excellent way to accompany all courses.
