About this wine

Vineyard and terroir

The production area is Piedmont.

Grapes

Cortese and Chardonnay.

Vinification

The grapes are harvested manually with selective picking, then softly pressed and filtered. Fermentation takes place at controlled temperature. Secondary fermentation is carried out with selected yeasts in pressurized tanks using the Martinotti, or Charmat, method.

Tasting profile

A dry sparkling wine with a brilliant white colour and fine, persistent perlage. The nose offers delicate aromas of hay and flowers.

Serving and pairing

Suitable as an aperitif, with dessert or on its own at any time. Cellar life is 2–3 years.
