Description
A classic method brut sparkling wine from Trentino-Alto Adige, 13% ABV, produced by Dorigati. Blend of Chardonnay and Pinot Bianco. 0.75L bottle. A tribute to the history and tradition of the Dorigati family, which has been producing excellent wines since 1858. The name comes from a local legend, which tells of a Basilisk that resided in Castel San Gottardo in Mezzocorona, terrorizing the inhabitants of the Piana Rotaliana. Intense and complex, slightly citrusy, with notes of baked apple and a hint of pastry. Fine and persistent perlage. Extremely smooth sensation, thanks to a good structure and balanced acidity. Extremely fresh on the palate.
