Produced using the \u003cstrong\u003eTraditional Method\u003c\/strong\u003e, it is characterised by the complete absence of sugar dosage. In the glass, it displays a \u003cstrong\u003efine and delicate perlage\u003c\/strong\u003e introducing notes of white flowers, hazelnut, apple and banana. On the palate, it is pleasantly dry and creamy, supported by pronounced savouriness and a vibrant acidic streak that prolongs its persistence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhere does it come from\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe grapes come from the municipal areas of Pasiano and Porcia. The vineyards, cultivated using the \u003cstrong\u003eGuyot system\u003c\/strong\u003e, are set on \u003cstrong\u003eclay-sandy and calcareous soil\u003c\/strong\u003e, a key element in giving the wine its typical freshness.

This process enriches the wine with pronounced creaminess. The remuage and disgorgement stages take place without the addition of any \u003cstrong\u003esugar dosage\u003c\/strong\u003e, followed by a period of rest in the bottle before release.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHistory and Curiosities\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreated to celebrate the centenary of San Simone, this \u003cstrong\u003eBlanc de Blancs Riserva\u003c\/strong\u003e 2020 is the purest expression of Friulian Chardonnay.
