On the nose, it opens with an enveloping bouquet of well-defined fruity notes, enriched by delicate spicy nuances. On the palate, it reveals a solid structure and an intense sip, where the pleasant dryness typical of the Extra Brut dosage leads to a long and highly persistent finish.

Thanks to its excellent ageing potential, it evolves beautifully over time. At the table, it is the ideal companion for white meat dishes, but it also pairs superbly with refined starters, shellfish, and fish-based preparations.
