## Summary

A metodo classico sparkling wine from Chardonnay and Pinot Nero grown in the Langa astigiana up to 450 metres, aged at least 36 months on the lees.

## Tasting notes

Straw yellow with golden highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. Aromas of bread crust and a flinty minerality, ripe yellow fruit and a floral hint of wisteria, with light toasted hazelnut notes. Crisp and saline on the palate, structured and fresh, with barely perceptible acidity.

## Food pairings

Raw fish, shellfish and intensely flavoured vegetables; also good with second courses of raw meat, cheeses and truffle dishes.
