Sparkling
Metodo Classico
By Matteo Ascheri, Langhe, Piemonte, Italy
Made in collaboration with 8pari, an organisation for the social and employment inclusion of people with disabilities.
Tasting notes
Light straw yellow colour. Fine and persistent perlage. Bouquet of delicate hints of bread crust, candied citrus fruits, honey and toasted hazelnuts. In the mouth all the elements combine in a pleasant and complex expression. Very elegant, balanced and delicately savoury.
Pairs well with
Film: Forrest Gump (Robert Zemeckis). Music: Formidable (Stromae).
