Produced using the Traditional Method, this wine blends the qualities of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir in a straw-yellow glass with a fine and persistent perlage. On the nose, delicate citrus notes and hints of candied fruit stand out. On the palate, a pronounced acidity emerges which, accompanied by a carefully measured dosage, delivers a dry and clean sip, with a taut, clean and highly persistent finish.
