Vinification and Aging

• Fermentation: The base wine undergoes primary fermentation in stainless steel to preserve the fresh, fruit-forward qualities of the Frappato grape. The second fermentation takes place using the traditional method, imparting fine bubbles and complexity.
• Aging: The wine is aged on its lees for several months, which enhances the texture and contributes subtle bready notes that complement the fruitiness of the Frappato grape.
• Bottling: Bottled with minimal intervention to retain the purity of the fruit and the finesse of the bubbles, this wine is left unfiltered to maintain its character.

Tasting Notes

• Appearance: Pale pink with a fine and persistent mousse, indicative of its elegant bubbles and youthful freshness.
• Aroma: The nose is fragrant and expressive, with bright notes of red berries, such as strawberry and raspberry, complemented by floral hints of rose petals and a touch of citrus zest.
• Palate: The wine is crisp and lively on the palate, with a refreshing acidity that balances the delicate sweetness of the fruit. The flavors of fresh berries and light citrus are enhanced by subtle notes of brioche and minerality from the lees aging.
• Finish: Clean and refreshing, with a lingering finish of red fruits and a soft, smooth effervescence that makes it extremely pleasant.

Serving Recommendations

Aging Potential
