• Style: Brut (Dry, but fruit-forward).

Sensory Profile

• Appearance: A delicate, bright pink color with a fine and persistent perlage (bubbles).

• Nose: Intensely aromatic and fresh. It is dominated by wild strawberries, raspberries, and redcurrants, with a lovely floral backdrop of rose petals and pomegranate.

• Palate: On the palate, it is lively and crisp. The small, vivacious bubbles provide a creamy mouthfeel, while the finish is dry, clean, and bursting with red fruit flavors.

Production Method

Recommended Food Pairings

This wine is the ultimate “lifestyle” bottle—it works for celebrations, sunsets, or light meals:

• Aperitivo: Excellent on its own or paired with light appetizers like bruschetta with tomato and basil or smoked salmon canapés.

• Spicy Cuisine: Surprisingly effective with mildly spicy Asian dishes, such as Pad Thai or shrimp dim sum, as the fruitiness balances the heat.

• Seafood: Perfect for raw seafood (crudo), tuna tartare, or grilled prawns.

• Dessert: Works beautifully with fruit-based desserts, particularly those featuring fresh berries, or a light panna cotta.

Serving Suggestion: Serve well-chilled at 6°C – 8°C (43°F – 46°F). Use a tulip-shaped sparkling wine glass to concentrate those beautiful red berry aromas.
