## Summary

A vintage Metodo Classico from Pinot Nero and Chardonnay, first made in 2018 and aged on the lees for 36 months. 13% alcohol, 7.5 g/l residual sugar.

## Tasting notes

Intense straw yellow with a fine, persistent perlage. Fragrant, complex nose typical of bottle refermentation, with notes of bread crust. Broad, elegant and fresh palate with low acidity, savoury yet rich, with a long mineral finish.

## Food pairings

Good for any occasion, from aperitif to elaborate Piedmontese cooking; also seafood, fish dishes and truffle dishes.
