## Summary

A vintage Metodo Classico brut from a single Piedmontese grape variety, aged at least 9 months in bottle. About 2,500 bottles.

## Tasting notes

Brut sparkling wine with a significant, persistent mousse, very structured and distinctive, with intense, mildly aromatic scents. Full-bodied and savoury on the palate, with good acidity and softness. Long-lived, it refines over the years.

## Food pairings

Pairs well with substantial, flavourful or spicy dishes, especially seafood first courses, mussels and fish soup. Good on any occasion and as an aperitif.
