Description
Like my other Blanc de Noirs sparkling wines, Solera is made from a cuvée of wines from different vintages with the important addition of a reserve obtained using the Cuvée Perpetua method, also known as Solera. I wanted to produce a sparkling wine like certain Champagnes that I like, from Vignerons who produce “chewy” bubbles, rich, complex and capable of accompanying a full meal and provoking a beautiful emotion even if they remain in the glass and warm up. The old reserve wines impart very strong, spicy, citrusy and vinous aromas at the same time.
