Product name Spumante Brut Millesimato 2018
Color Intense straw yellow, golden reflections.
Perfume Elegant complexity, reminiscent of almond, hazelnut and a slight expression of bread crust; very intense with a floral finish.
Taste Enveloping, with delicate mousse and great persistence; fruity and beautifully structured, with fresh, clean acidity and a citrus touch on the finish.
History The sparkling wine tradition in Umbria dates back only to the early 1980s, but the careful choice of soils and microclimate where the right conditions were found to produce grapes with good acidity has allowed a production that equals that of better known areas. The character added by the Umbrian habitat and the long and careful vinification process makes it a much sought-after product.
Pairings An excellent aperitif, it is also a great choice for continuing the entire meal.
