Viticulture

Production

Traditional Method. Separate fermentation in stainless steel tanks at a controlled temperature. To preserve its quality, we produce a free-run must with character and a differentiated typicity. Second fermentation in the bottle with selected yeasts, followed by ageing on lees for 42 months, develops complexity and maintains its freshness. After disgorging, we add a small portion of our free-run must to give it its distinctive seal.

Tasting Notes

It has a straw-yellow colour with golden highlights and fine bubbles. The nose is clean, offering fine aromas of prolonged ageing interspersed with white flowers and pineapple. Well-balanced, defined, and full-bodied, with a good presence of carbon dioxide and a pleasantly marked acidity. It is flavorful, smooth, and long-lasting. Notes of bottle ageing dominate.
