Sparkling
Nature
By Cieck, Canavese, Piemonte, Italy
Nature is Lia Falconieri's own sparkling wine, an uncompromisingly dry (Pas Dose) traditional-method Erbaluce di Caluso first presented at the end of 2017 with the 2013 vintage, resting at least 48 months on lees.
Tasting notes
Bright straw yellow with a very fine, persistent perlage; elegant bouquet of ripe white fruit with mineral, crusty-bread and yeast notes; structured, full-bodied palate with persistent acidity and a savoury finish
Pairs well with
Aperitifs, and fish dishes, particularly raw fish and shellfish
