Organoleptic examination
Fine-grained and persistent bubbles, the nose shows the typical aromas of the classic method: bread crust, yeast with a hint of fruit deriving from the excellent vines of the sparkling wine base.
On the palate there is a strong balance between acidity, alcohol and bubbles, the carbonation is not violent and leaves room for the senses to appreciate the typical characteristics of the base wine. Long and persistent.
It goes well with all fish-based courses and all aperitifs.
Expertise and passion the ancient and modern art of the winemaker.
At first it was curiosity, then a thirst for knowledge, then the passion started.
We have tried to apply a method to try to become small producers with the ambition of obtaining qualitatively important results.
