Technical information
The three grape varieties are soft-pressed and fermented separately at a controlled temperature of 14°-16°C. The wine matures on the lees from the first fermentation in stainless steel tanks for a number of months. Liqueur di tirage is added to the cuvée and the wine is then bottled and sealed with crown caps before being placed in the cellar at 10-12°C for secondary fermentation. The wine rests on its lees for an average of 24 months and is then disgorged and released for sale.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow in colour with long-lasting, extremely fine bubbles. Scents of fruit with a well-balanced hint of yeast. Fresh and dry on the palate with excellent persistence of flavour, delicious aftertaste of dried fruit.
