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.
