The vines, located at approximately 400 meters above sea level and cultivated on slopes with gradients of up to 17%, produced healthy grapes with great aromatic concentration.Winemaking and aging

After the first fermentation in steel tanks, the wine undergoes a second fermentation in the bottle thanks to selected yeasts, remaining on its lees for at least 24 months. This long aging allows the wine to develop more evolved notes and a fine and persistent perlage. The disgorgement completes the process, giving life to a balanced Brut, capable of combining freshness and structure.Tasting notes
