About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The grapes come from Italy, where the growing environment is shaped by sunshine and the protection of the Alps and the sea. Slow ripening, mineral-rich soils and good sun exposure contribute freshness and vibrancy.

Grapes

White grapes.

Vinification

Free-run juice obtained by gentle pressing is transferred to stainless-steel tanks for cold static decantation. Selected yeasts conduct the first fermentation at a constant 18°C over 8–10 days. After tasting, the winemaking team selects the base wines destined for sparkling-wine production.

The selected wine is filtered into stainless-steel tanks, where sucrose and selected yeasts initiate the second fermentation by the Martinotti–Charmat method at 14–15°C. After the required pressure, alcohol and sugar levels have been reached, the wine is refrigerated and cold-stabilized at −2 to −3°C, then filtered, checked and bottled.

Pale straw yellow with a fine, persistent perlage. The delicate, lightly aromatic nose combines pear and green apple with acacia and wisteria flowers. The palate is fresh and subtle, with balanced acidity and savoriness, harmonious structure and a long, persistent finish.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 8–10°C. Versatile as an aperitif and with everyday food, particularly delicate appetizers and first courses, prosciutto crudo and fish main courses.
