| Description: |
The Aglianico (still pink in color) and Fiano are picked early in the vineyard and shipped to Valdobbiadene for fermentation. The ripeness of the grapes causes a low PH balance of 3.1 giving it a fresher and dry mouthfeel. This sparkling wine shows a brilliant greenish yellow color. The nose and palate denotes intense, clean and pleasing aromas and flavors that start with hints of pineapple, pear and apple followed by aromas of peach, tangerine. |
