A bottle of liquid sunshine. Made primarily with chardonnay with a bit of pinot nero and pinot bianco, this sparkler is light, crisp and lemony. Tradition method vinification with 24 months spent on lees gives just a whiff of autolytic aromas and flavours, some roundness to the texture, and a fine mousse. A very good finish tapers off with flavours of lemon drops. A very classy summer sipper that would be ideal with light fare.
