Description
White sparkling wine Classical Method, it is produced with Erbaluce grapes in pureness. It’s the result of a long and careful winemaking. It’s the product that best expresses love between man and his work. Each bottle has its own history, the elements that combine to produce it are many and not all tameable. It has a fine and persistent “perlage” and citrus aromas stand out to the nose. Taste is fresh, balanced with persistent notes of minerality. It’s not only an aperitif wine, for its important structure we suggest it for the whole meal, and its absolutely special with haute cuisine dishes.
