It is designed for meal more than an aperitif bubble, destined to quench the thirst of the most demanding enthusiasts of sparkling wines.

The grapes are harvested by hand and vinified separately by vine variety and by parcel. The whole bunches of Pinot Noir and Chardonnay are delicately pressed to obtain a clear and pure must. The alcoholic fermentation of the base wines takes place in steel vats at a controlled temperature. After blending the cuvée with only the 2015 vintage wines, the second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to traditional method and the sparkling wine ages in autolysis on the lees for at least 30 months.
