Brut Nature Spumante DOC 2019

Vintage

The weather conditions made 2019 a challenging year for our winegrowers. A relatively mild winter and early spring were followed by a wet and cool April and May. After the flowering of the vines, which was not until June, the weather changed and it became hot and dry. In late summer, some rain and below-average temperatures delayed the ripening of the grapes.

Tasting notes

– Golden yellow tone with slight rosé reflections
– fine and persistent perlage, thanks to the long time on the lees

– bright and rapturous acidity and creamy finish
