Production method
It is produced according to the so-called methode champenoise or classic method, a method in which the wine substantially undergoes two different fermentations: the first, the alcoholic one (which it shares with the rest of the wines) takes place in vats for fermentation; the second instead takes place directly in the bottle and ensures that during this second procedure, thanks to particular yeasts, the wine also develops carbon dioxide (which will then give life to the famous bubbles when uncorked). A “good” percentage of reserve wines is used, which amounts to approximately 20-35% of the wines that make up the cuvée.

Tasting notes
It has a pale straw yellow color with golden reflections, with a nice fine perlage. On the nose notes of citrus fruits, Williams pear, butter, hazelnut, toasted almonds and hydrocarbons, pepper. On the palate it expresses a beautiful structure and fabric, the perlage becomes more enveloping and creamy on the final part of the sip. Still on the finish, notes of spices return, supported by a marked freshness. Very interesting!
Possible combinations
Perfect as an aperitif or for a very special toast! Also excellent in the context of classic method tastings. In combination it is excellent with very delicate fish dishes, with first courses with butter or succulent sauces, lasagna. Also try it with a nice main course of noble poultry or white meat!
