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. An intense straw yellow color with shades of ancient gold. Broad and deep on the nose, characterized by notes of dandelion and broom, yellow melon, and a finish with light toasted notes and crunchy almonds and brioche bread. On the palate, the wine is characterized by a marked acidity supported by an excellent structure. The savory finish gives longevity and tension to the sip.
