Tasting notes
Straw yellow color with golden reflexions and a fine perlage. The froth is persistent and softly embraces the glass while maintaining a unique crunchy texture. At the first taste you may find notes such as brioche, freshly baked bread, and short bursts of the classical aroma of the grape. As the wine acclimates in the glass, aromas evolve into a wide bouquet made of white flowers, acacia flowers, vanilla and white pepper. The fruity sensations are highlighted by golden apple and fresh hazelnuts. The mineral characteristics complete the fragrance of the wine. On the palate it is round, very rich, with a pleasantly evolved finish.
Food pairings
In addition to the classic pairing with desserts, this wine pairs well with strong blue cheese or spicy international flavors like green curry, or Korean barbecue. Serve at 4-6°C.
