Rapalino Circa 26

Metodo Classico sparkling wine from Moscato grown at Camo, 48 months on the lees. Marco's note calls it his brother Claudio's bet, one he considers already won.

Tasting notes

Straw yellow, crystal clear in the glass. Floral and complex on the nose, with fine, persistent, elegant bubbles; surprising freshness and minerality. Aromas of sage, peach blossom and green apple, vibrant and persistent on the palate, with a full mousse and a long, ample finish that returns to the variety's aromatic notes.

Pairs well with

Suited to an aperitif or to starters, canapés and elaborate finger food, foie gras and medium-aged mountain cheeses.
