Winemaking
- Sparkling method: Traditional (Metodo Classico)
The grapes are softly pressed and the must obtained sediments at a low temperature for 12 hours. The first fermentation in steel is followed by ageing on fine lees for 8 months. Refermentation and horizontal cellaring for 24 months in underground cellars precedes riddling, which is carried out strictly by hand on riddling racks.
Aging
3 months
Appearance
Straw yellow with platinum reflec- tions and a fine, persistent perlage.
Food Pairing
Seafood crudités, olive oil and vegetable dips, mature cheeses and savoury Mediterranean dishes.
