A millesimato metodo classico from Cortese, 48 months on the lees with riddling by hand on wooden pupitres. First vintage 2010.
Tasting notes
Intense straw yellow with a fine, elegant, persistent perlage. Typical bread crust aroma with hints of butter; balanced, fresh and persistent, described as a great expression of Cortese.
