Tasting profile (AI-generated)
Structure: light-bodied, low tannin, high acidity, dry
This is a rustic, farmhouse-style sparkling wine made by the ancestral method, meaning it ferments once, directly in the bottle, with no dosage or added sulfites. Expect a pale ruby-pink hue, a soft and slightly hazy mousse, and a bright, tangy palate led by red berry and citrus notes with a touch of herbal spice. It drinks dry and refreshing, best served lightly chilled as an easygoing aperitif rather than a polished, refined fizz.
