TASTING NOTES
Straw yellow in colour, with a fine and persistent perlage. The bouquet is complex and constantly evolving: white peach and candied citrus peel blend with delicate hints of pastry cream and vanilla, unfolding on the finish into delicate balsamic and aromatic herb notes. On the palate it reveals elegance and minerality, refined and perfectly balanced, with a fresh, savory finish that enhances its purity and finesse.
Fermentation:the first in temperature-controlled (17°C) stainless-steel tanks; the second in bottle according to the Classic Method with residence on the lees for 30 months
Brilliant yellow colour, very fine and persistent perlage. A floral bouquet evolves into more complex notes reminiscent of toasted hazelnuts and aromatic herbs. The mouth has an excellent structure, well balanced by good acidity. Creamy, fresh and pleasant finish.
