Tasting notes:
The rows of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay span over twenty years of our company. The grapes we obtain from these vineyards can now give us the concentration needed for making a fresh, aromatic Metodo Classico. The slow secondary fermentation in the bottle and the choice not to add liqueur d’expédition allow this wine to come alive with freshness and elegance. It has notes of yeast and hazelnuts, with a pleasing acidity that makes this perfectly fit for aperitivo. It also pairs well with all types of dishes, particularly fish-based, salumi, vegetable flans, and white meats.
