Product description: Rosé vinification of the Pinot Nero grapes, which make up the largest part of the cuvée, with short maceration of the skins followed by soft pressing, also reserved for the Chardonnay grapes, which come from areas particularly suited to sparkling wines. Fermentation takes place separately for both grape varieties at a controlled temperature of 15°-16°C. After blending to form the cuvée, the tirage liqueur is added to the base wine in spring, so that the second fermentation takes place in the bottle at a cellar temperature of 11°-12°C, during which the wine is left on its lees for at least 22 months before being degorgéed and put on the market. Organoleptic characteristics: With a pale pink colour and peachy reflections, fine and persistent perlage, it expresses fruity notes of raspberry and sweet spices, enveloped by pleasant scents of yeast. On the palate, it unfolds elegantly and dynamically with the delicate freshness and fine creaminess that lingers on the aromas of small forest fruits and herbs.Gastronomic recommendationsSeductive as an aperitif, a good companion for starters with fish, especially pink ones such as salmon, crab and prawn, it gives its best to the whole menu with sophisticated seafood dishes. Interesting with oriental cuisine and spicy dishes in general.
