Tasting Notes
This is a lively brut, full of fragrance, tending to smoothness and an accessible
sensory language, with a balanced and versatile style. In the glass it is yellow in
colour with greenish reflections, enlivened by a fine and persistent perlage. The
nose is fresh, with floral notes of lime, shades of citrus, white peach and green
pepper. The mouth is tight and crisp, fresh and vertical, full-bodied, refined and
with a lingering very enjoyable finish.
Vinification
Soft pressing, cold settling, Inoculatioain with selected yeats, fermentation in steel for
20 days, partial malo. The still wine ages in both steel and barriques for 7 months. The
wine ages on the lees for 20-26 months before disgorgement.
