Yeast and light bakery hints from aging on the lees are also noticeable, along with delicate spice aromas that further enrich the aromatic structure.

Taste: The palate is fruity, elegant, and perfectly balanced, with soft and ripe tannins. Notes of strawberry, raspberry, and citrus fruits are present, while fine and persistent bubbles are accentuated. Minerality and a subtle yeasty texture add depth, making the sparkling wine very drinkable. The finish is delightful, with a long and fresh aftertaste that leaves a sense of purity and elegance.
