Brut
Type of soil: Calcareous-clayey
Type of grapes: 50% pinot noir 50% chardonnay.
Yield per hectare: The vintage is characterized by a good yeald. The weather allowed us to reach 80-100 Qli/ha.
Vintage: Vintage 2018 and therefore obtained from the skilful assemblage of the best grapes of that year; the use of pinot noir, vinified in red gives a good body and structure and above all elegance,
with a tannin content which is never aggressive.
Harvest: Between mid-August and early September when the grapes have reached the correct sugar ripeness, but still have a considerable acidity and freshness
Maturation: 42 months of maturation on lees. After disgorgement, the bottles rest in the cellar for another 5-6 months.
SENSORY CHARACTERISTICS
Colour: A soft shade of pink, with reflections that veer towards salmon with slight variations perceivable each vintage, due to the different degree of ripeness of the pinot noir grapes
Bouquet: Intense, small red berries with aromas of candy
Palate: A good balanced structure, fragrant, intense, excellent persistence and a pleasant body
Perlage: Very gentle yet persistent, creamy mousse
