Tasting profile
Structure: light-bodied, high acidity, dry
A Piedmontese sparkler from one of the Langhe's best-known houses, made in the tank method that keeps the fruit primary and the mousse soft rather than developing the bready lees character of bottle fermentation. Green apple, pear and citrus over white blossom, light-bodied with brisk acidity. Made for pouring rather than pondering — an aperitif wine, and cheerfully unpretentious about it.
