Grapes used

Pinot Noir 50%

Chardonnay 50%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called champenoise method or classical method, a method in which the wine essentially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it has in common with the rest of the wines) takes place in fermentation vats; the second, however, takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second process, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles upon uncorking).

Alcohol content

12.5%

Tasting notes

Straw yellow color with golden reflections. On the nose it reveals delicate and refined fragrances of white flowers alongside a pleasant subtle minerality, culminating with elegant oxidative nuances. The taste is dry, lively, full, with a marked but harmonious acidity, notable persistence and a pleasant citrus finish.

Possible combinations

It can be accompanied by fish, shellfish, cheeses, appetizers and desserts. Furthermore, it is perfect for celebrating special occasions or for an informal toast with friends.
