Disgorgement: after at least 36 months of permanence on the lees in the bottle
Color: pale yellow with hints of greenish highlights, a color made even more fascinating by its fine and persistent perlage.
Nose: straight and gentle; hints of crusty bread fresh from the oven, ripe white melon and white peach, followed by mineral and mentholated sensations, a sweet note of white chocolate and a smoky finish complete the aromatic picture.
Palate: the palate is fine, very fresh with perfectly integrated bubbles; not too bulky but full and unexpectedly soft. A nice acidity enhances its freshness. Unpredictable finish for the return of dense floral notes.
Recommended pairings: perfect with seafood first courses, shellfish and with light legume-based soups or fish soups.
Dishes to match: pasta with piennolo cherry tomatoes; raw tuna celery sauce; naked scampi with asparagus sauce; semi-seared scallop with lemon.
