Description
Extra Brut Classic Method sparkling wine, produced by Ca di Frara in Lombardy, 100% Pinot Noir. This wine was born in 1905, when Giovanni Bellani, great-grandfather of current owner Luca, purchased several plots of vineyard land in the municipality of Mornico Losana, in the hamlet of Casa Ferrari (Cà di Frara in the local dialect), ideally located for growing grapes. 0.75 L bottle. Creamy and aromatic, with aromas of pear and exotic fruit blending with the structure of the Pinot Noir. A vibrant straw yellow color, it is vibrant in the glass. Acidity and freshness pair well with the bold aromas of the Pinot Noir.
