About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

A sparkling cuvée based on delicate white grape varieties from Veneto.

Grapes

Garganega, Glera and Chardonnay.

Vinification

The grapes are pressed gently to preserve their fresh, fruity aromas. The must ferments at a controlled temperature in stainless-steel tanks. Liqueur de tirage is added to the base wine before a second fermentation in a pressurized tank.

Ageing

After secondary fermentation, the cuvée remains on its lees for a few months, developing a creamy texture.

Technical data

Alcohol: 11% vol. Bottle format: 0.75 L.

Tasting profile

Straw yellow with green reflections and a fine, delicate perlage. Spring flowers and tropical fruit lead the bouquet, joined by sugared-almond notes, dried fruit and lemon peel. The palate is rounded and enveloping, with mineral accents and white-flower notes.

Serving and pairing

Serve at 8–10 °C. Pair with fish- or vegetable-based appetizers, first courses, risotto and fish main courses.

Label / history
