VINIFICATION
Vinified using traditional methods to avoid premature oxidation. Partial malolactic fermentation for the wines in vats and vinification without malolactic fermentation for the wines in wooden barrels. Extra brut dosage (4.25 g/litre) to maintain a balance between freshness and vinosity without masking the wine’s character and purity.
Aged for five to seven years to develop maximum complexity and to highlight the secondary and tertiary aromas which are the hallmark of extended aging on lees.
Tasting notes:
TO THE EYE - Bright, slightly coppery gold with a generous, creamy foam.
WHIT THE NOSE - Expressive and ripe with notes of yellow fruit and peach, with a lightly toasted aroma.
WITH THE MOUTH - The palate is ample with notes of ripe fruit – peach and mango – and barley sugar. The finish is fresh and slightly minty but also supple and long.
