Technical notes
Vinification: is obtained from follows the soft pressing of the whole grapes after a short cold maceration. Follows the fining and flitration of the must, prior to fermentation in pressure tanks at a low temperature.
Ageing: this is a wine for drinking when it is young to appreciate its extraordinary freshness; it is ready for consumption just a few days after bottling.
Tasting notes
A bright ruby-red color, it has a full, musky nose of wild fruit and strawberries, and a delicate, lingering perlage. At the palate it shows an extraordinary balance between sweetness and acidity. It is a lively and sparkling wine, due to its effervescence.
Pairings
It is delightful to drink at any time of the day and in every season. Excellent with desserts.
