L'Astemia Pentita Charley

A Metodo Classico dedicated to Charley Vezza, Sandra Vezza's son: fresh, ironic and irreverent.

Tasting notes

Hints of yeast and bread crust with white-fleshed fruit. Voluminous, ephemeral foam and a fine, persistent perlage, good acidity and a creamy feel. Dry, fresh and lively, savoury and complex.

Pairs well with

Fish, oriental dishes, pizza; versatile across a whole meal
