Pale pink spumante with fine and persistent perlage and a floral, fruity bouquet. Grapes come from the right bank of the Po in Lombardy, grown on sedimentary soils of marl, limestone and fine clays.
Lifted, refreshing mouthfeel – thanks to fine and persistent perlage
Fine, persistent perlage signals compact, long-lasting bubbles that produce a lively mousse and steady effervescence on the palate. The persistent bead contributes to tactile freshness throughout tasting.
Lingering bubbles refresh the palate between bites, making the wine an ideal match for starters and salads. Perlage also helps deliver aromatic notes to the nose when served chilled.
Expressive floral and red-fruit aromatics – with dominant blackcurrant and wild strawberry notes
The aromatic profile combines floral scents with concentrated red-fruit notes, specifically blackcurrant and wild strawberry, creating layered nose complexity. Fragrant elements remain detectable on retro-olfaction.
Aromatic generosity complements light, vegetable-led dishes and salads, offering a fruity counterpoint to savoury dressings. The bouquet also makes the wine appealing as a stand-alone aperitif.
Versatile meal pairing – thanks to balanced acidity and well-defined structure
Balanced acidity and marked body produce good structure and retro-olfactory persistence, allowing flavours to develop alongside food. Structural balance prevents the wine from being overwhelmed by richer vegetable dishes.
Pairs reliably with legume-based dishes, rice or quinoa salads, vegetable risottos and savoury pies. Works equally well as an after-dinner sip or a companion to plant-forward sharing plates.
