This appealing north Italian organic sparkler, produced from 100% Pinot Noir, has layers of honeyed fruit and toasty character.
 
Produced from a selection of estate-grown grapes in Casteggio and Calvignano - where the Pinot Noir vines are planted on south-westerly facing hillside sites (around 300m altitude), in chalky clay soils. The wine is then produced according to the Charmat method, with second fermentation in tank.
 
Aromas of lemon and brioche with lightly toasty notes. The palate is fresh and dry, with citrus and apple characters balanced by crisp acidity. The wine has a fine and peristent mousse with honeyed fruit on the long finish.
