Description
History
In 1979, John and Harry Mariani, just over a year after founding Banfi in Montalcino, acquired the Bruzzone company, an established winery with a long history, founded in 1860 and specialized in the production of sparkling wines. The goal was to make it the Piedmontese brand of the group. The company covers an area of 50 hectares, between the municipalities of Novi Ligure and Acqui, of which 46 hectares are dedicated to vineyards. From the beginning, the company has embarked on a constant growth path, focusing on typicality and technological innovation, with particular attention to the production of quality sparkling wines. This choice has proved successful over the years, with highly significant results especially for the Classic Method and Charmat sparkling wines.

Tasting notes
Straw yellow color enriched by shiny golden hues, while the bubbles are very thin and persistent. The aroma is intense and initially dominated by notes of candied citrus peel, which then transform into aromas of brioches, dried fruit and vanilla.
Possible combinations
Excellent accompaniment for fish-based dishes, both raw and cooked, with complex preparations and elegant but decisive flavours.
