Diego Morra Avantù

A rosé metodo classico sparkling wine made entirely from Nebbiolo, resting 36 months on the lees.

Tasting notes

Delicate pink colour with a fine, persistent perlage. Broad, floral, varietal aromas of rose with slightly spicy notes of cinnamon. Well balanced, full, elegant and long on the palate, with hints of bread crust and yeast and a soft tannin.

Pairs well with

Aperitifs, fish dishes, grilled dishes, carpaccio, shellfish, seafood, cheese, and fried foods.
