Grapes used

Chardonnay 100%

Production method

It is produced according to the so-called champenoise method or classic 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

Brilliant straw yellow color with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, pleasant notes of white flowers such as jasmine are perceived, enriched with hints of citrus fruits. The bouquet is completed by a finish reminiscent of meringue, a mix of toasted and sweet. On the palate, the liveliness that animates the taste is striking: the sparkling bubbles and the intense minerality create a structured and vibrant sip, which never seems to abandon.

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.
