- Fermentation takes place in steel at a controlled temperature. This is followed by secondary fermentation in the bottle. The wine is aged on the lees for around 36 months before disgorgement, and is then aged in the bottle for at least 6 months before being released.
- Tasting notes
-
With its bright straw colour and fine perlage, the 2021 Brut has a fresh bouquet with hints of white-fleshed fruit and citrus peel.
It also has pastry and bread crust notes typical of ageing on the lees. In the mouth it is intense, harmonious and savoury. - At the table
-
Aperitif glass, to enjoy with finger food like croutons garnished with bottarga and basil, tempura vegetables or cold meat platters. It goes well with fish- and shellfish-based first courses; try also with pan-seared scallops and fried fish. Serve in medium-sized wineglasses, without flaring. Uncork at time of serving, serve at 6-8 °C.
