Winemaking
One hour of skin contact cold maceration prepares the grapes for soft crushing. The must is clarified and fermented at controlled temperatures (17°C.). The final cuvée consists of 90% clear wine and 10% of the previous vintage wine aged in French oak barriques. Fermentation takes place in the bottle (Classical Method). Yeast contact is extended for at least 30 months followed by traditional hand riddling (rémuage) on pupitres and dégorgement à la glace. A period of bottle aging follows.

Aromas of pink cherries and wild strawberries with dried flowers, orange peel and praline. Medium-bodied, dry and chalky with fine bubbles and zesty character. Refreshing and crisp at the end.

Quite a refined sparkling with gooseberry and citrus aromas and flavors, bolstered by a delicate, mineral base. Balanced palate with medium-fine perlage. Crisp, fruit and mineral finish. Nothing heavy here. Delicious to drink now.

EDITORS’ CHOICE

Aromas of toasted bread crust, botanical herbs and chamomile form the subtle nose. All about finesse, the dry, savory palate features ripe yellow apple, tangy lemon drop candy and hazelnut set against a delicate, silky perlage.

Really delicious rosé sparkling wine with dried strawberries, red apple skins and some white pepper. It’s full and flavorful with bitter lemon on the finish. Lots of flavor at the end, but tensioned and fun.

A fruity and frothy bubbly with cooked-apple and pear character. Lemons, almonds and some bread, too. Full-bodied, fruity and delicious. Nice bitterness and dryness at the end.

Tons of candied and fresh-citrus aromas on the nose and the full, juicy palate. However, there’s no hint of anything superficial here and the finish is long and elegant. Drink now.

Made entirely with Pinot Nero, this bright sparkler delivers wild raspberry, cherry and cake-spice sensations along with a hint of baked bread. Fresh acidity lifts the finish.
