About wine: It is a wine of straw-like yellow colour with golden tinges. It features a rich foam and prolonged release of tiny bubbles. On the nose we detect the richness of white flesh fruit (apples, pears, peaches), as well as a blossoming spring meadow and pineapple. In the mouth, a fruity note is complemented by sensations of bread crust and pastries (brioche, butter biscuits). In the aftertaste, refined acid and moderate percentage of residual sugars accentuate the fruity character of the wine and intertwine with persuasive minerality.
