Organoleptic sheet
In the glass, the wine is bright straw yellow bursting with intense, very fine, long-lasting bubbles. On the nose, the bouquet reveals floral notes of yellow flowers (Spanish broom, wintersweet) and notes of both ripe and fresh yellowfleshed fruits (banana, mango) with subtle hints of yeast. Decidedly fresh and lively on the palate, backed up by by an extraordinarily fine and enveloping effervescence, which is perfectly integrated with the sensations of energy and suppleness which come from the wine’s lengthy time on the lees. A long, exuberantly aromatic finish with notes of flowers, crisp and ripe fruits and herbs just brims with alpine personality.
Food pairings
This sparkling wine’s breadth of aromas and creamy mouthfeel, despite the absence of residual sugars, make it extraordinarily versatile
and great at bringing out the best in flavoursome starters, pasta and rice dishes, especially seafood and shellfish. It is equally suited to accompanying firm-textured foods (meaty,large fish, and white meats), as boldly salty foods (oily fish, caviar) and rich sauces or fatty favourites from traditional Italian cooking. A highly recommended companion to Asian seafood dishes, especially those from Japan.
