VINIFICATION AND REFINING:
Soft and progressive pressing of the bunches with fractionation of the musts; alcoholic fermentation in steel vats and refinement of the best parcels in oak barrels, where they mature for 6 months in contact with the yeasts. Preparation of the cuvée in the spring following the harvest, exclusively with 100% wines of the vintage. Second fermentation in the bottle and subsequent refinement on the yeasts for at least 5 years, followed by another 6 months after disgorgement.
ORGANOLEPTIC CHARACTERISTICS:
At sight abundant and creamy foam, with good persistence of a faint crown; thin and sinuous perlage. Intense straw yellow with light shades of antique gold. Fine and elegant on the nose, characterized by an opening on notes of saffron followed by light citrus aromas of bergamot and candied citron, ripe yellow-fleshed fruit and bread crust and lightened by fresh touches of star anise on a flint background. On the palate, the wine is characterized by great balance; the great structure, the lively acidity and the persistent final flavor combine with dynamism and give great personality.
CULINARY PAIRING:
When paired, it enhances structured first courses and fresh stuffed pasta, second courses of stewed fish, meat-based dishes and cheeses, even mature ones. SERVING TEMPERATURE: 10-12 °C.
