Description
The high acidity, low colour concentration and many other elements from the terroir make these grapes very suitable for producing sparkling wines made with the Classic Method. We obtain a wine with great personality and structure that boasts the primacy of having been the first sparkling wine made from Nerello Mascalese grapes.
