Colour
Clean, clear and bright. Straw yellow with gilding. Fine and persistent pearl. Very nice to see.
AROMA:
This sparkling wine surprises with the aromas derived from yeasts that have been in contact with wine for more than 15 years. Hints of coffee beans, toffee and pure cocoa are expressed, accompanied by hints of crystallized bean fruit, harmonizing with the spicy hints of white pepper. The balsamic aromas, such as tea leaf and rosemary freshen the whole.

Creamy mouth entry dressed in unrepeatable freshness. Charming the elegance of its carbonic, where it is perfectly integrated. Unctuousness that does not lose the vivacity contributed by its kind and sustained acidity.

This sparkling wine will delight great meals. Ideal to accompany a whole tasting menu. Although undoubtedly good company and great times are their best harmony.
To enhance the beauty of this great wine, we suggest serving it at 10ºC and drinking it in a large glass to promote oxygenation and, therefore, its expressiveness.
