## Summary

The Echi di… line's Extra Brut: 100% Pinot Nero from vineyards at 400 m, at least 30 months in bottle on the lees. Limited to 1,000 bottles.

## Tasting notes

Brilliant straw yellow with a fine, persistent perlage. Clean, decisive nose of bread crust, yeast and citrus, with hints of white-fleshed fruit. Dry, taut and savoury on the palate, with balanced freshness and a long, clean finish.

## Food pairings

Excellent as an aperitif; goes naturally with raw fish, oysters and shellfish, as well as structured seafood dishes and white meats.
