MaturationThe described vinification process combines modern and traditional techniques to produce a high-quality sparkling wine. First, alcoholic fermentation takes place in stainless steel tanks to preserve the freshness and clarity of the wine aromas. The finest parcels are then aged for six months in oak barrels, with the wines resting on their lees to develop additional complexity and depth. In the spring following the harvest, the cuvée is assembled exclusively from 100% wines of the same vintage to optimally represent the character of the harvest year. Afterwards, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle. The bottles are stored on the yeast for at least four years, resulting in a mature, fine perlage. After disgorging, the removal of the yeast plug, the wine matures for another six months to fully round out its aromas and structures. This leads to a final product of remarkable elegance and multi-layered aromatics.

ScentThis wine impresses with an intense and multifaceted aroma, characterized by a skillful combination of various scents. In the foreground are clearly recognizable mineral notes, which give the wine a certain depth and structure. These are harmoniously complemented by subtle nuances of citrus fruits, which add a fresh and lively note. The scent of crisp white peaches provides a light fruitiness, lending the bouquet an inviting sweetness and freshness. The aromatic profile is rounded off by the warm, comforting note of freshly baked bread, which offers the wine an inviting and pleasant base. This complex range of aromas is a true delight for the senses and invites you to explore and enjoy the wine in all its facets.
TasteThis wine presents itself with an impressively dry, warm, and simultaneously soft taste that immediately appeals to the senses. The structure of the wine is characterized by a well-balanced acidity, which gives it a refreshing liveliness. This refreshing note ensures that the wine, despite its warmth, always remains sophisticated and stimulating. In the aftertaste, a subtle note of pink grapefruit unfolds, providing a pleasant and long-lasting finish that delights the palate. The wine's excellent body contributes to the depth and fullness of the taste experience, making it seem harmonious and balanced. This harmonious interplay of aromas and textures makes the wine a special pleasure that captivates and remains memorable.
Serving suggestionThis wine pairs excellently with a carefully prepared first course, refined with rich butter. The delicate touch of 18-month aged Parmigiano Reggiano DOP enriches the dish with its intense, nutty flavor and a hint of umami. The combination with white truffle, one of the most noble and aromatic ingredients in cuisine, elevates the dish to an unparalleled level and provides an intense, luxurious taste experience. This composition of buttery richness, umami-rich cheese, and the earthy, unique aroma of white truffle perfectly complements the wine. Together, they unfold a culinary interplay that exquisitely highlights both the nuances of the dish and the undertones of the wine, elevating the gastronomic experience to a new level. Enjoy this combination and allow yourself to be seduced by the exquisite flavors.
