Cascina Baricchi Et Voilà

A Pinot Nero metodo classico from Neviglie, aged six years on its lees before disgorgement.

Tasting notes

The estate describes a straw yellow with golden glints and a very fine perlage from the long time on the lees. The nose opens on mint and sage, then bergamot blossom, candied citrus, lychee and apricot, moving to buttery pastry and almond paste. Fine and appealing on the palate thanks to its freshness, with an unmistakable full body.

Pairs well with

An aperitif, or with seafood starters; its body also suits the first courses of traditional Italian cooking. The estate calls it superb with salt-baked turbot and potatoes.
