Sparkle technique
Re-fermentation at a cool temperature and subsequent brief contact with the pomace, kept in suspension with a special agitator.
Refinement
In the bottle for no less than three months in air-conditioned rooms. It doesn’t require any special development, but with time takes on an elegant, mellow coppery tint, the sign of completed maturation.
Appearance
Evanescent sparkle, persistent perlage, pale pink color; the slow ascent of the tiny bubbles creates variegated glints ranging from silvery magenta to pearly pink.
Aroma
Characteristically fruity and floral, with notes of rose and vine blossom; a light but noticeable scent of Traminer.
Taste
Dry, lively, balanced, moderately robust, refined.
Alcohol content
12.50% by volume.
Serving temperature
8-10°C, 46-50°F.
Pairings
To drink throughout a meal, excellent with pink meats and all seafood dishes, especially Italian ones big on personality like stewed cod and Livorno-style fish soup.
