Soft pressing and cold settling prepare the base wine before a stainless steel fermentation, followed by partial malolactic fermentation for added roundness. The wine then matures for 7 months in a mix of steel and barriques. Secondary fermentation occurs in bottle, and the wine spends 20–26 months ageing on lees before an additional 3–4 months bottle age after disgorgement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the glass, it shows a yellow colour with greenish highlights and a fine, persistent perlage. The nose is fresh and delicate, offering lime blossom, citrus, white peach and a touch of green pepper. On the palate it’s crisp, tight and vertical, carrying its freshness confidently through a refined, full‑bodied texture and a long, enjoyable finish. With 6 g\/L residual sugar, it leans dry and refreshing, making it ideal as an aperitivo wine, especially with cold cuts or finger food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNV\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e“Bright straw yellow with delicate green reflections.
