Appearance: The color is light golden-straw to pale yellow, with a clear and transparent appearance. The bubbles are fine and persistent, with an elegant mousse (foam), which is typical for quality sparkling wines.
Aroma: Fruity notes of apple, pear, and white fruits. There is a presence of “flinty / chalky” minerality and slight notes of yeast and brioche due to aging on the lees. A slight citrus refreshment in the aroma (grapefruit, lemon).
Taste: Dry wine (Extra Brut / very dry), fresh and pronounced acidity, medium to full body. Tasty notes of apple, pear, white fruits, a slight hint of pastry/yeast, mineral emphasis. The structure is slightly creamy due to prolonged contact with the lees. Texture with fine bubbles and a sensation of a “clean flow” across the palate, well balanced.
Finish: The finish is medium-long, clean, and mineral. Fruity elements (apple, pear) and a slight saltiness/minerality remain in the aftertaste. The special feature of the finish is that it leaves an impression of freshness and elegance, without being overly tiring.
