This wine is made with a careful selection of the best bunches with very low yields per hectare to obtain a high quality of the grapes harvested and vinified. Only the free-run must, made from a light pressing of grapes, ferments in stainless steel tanks and remains at rest until it is bottled for the second fermentation. After an aging period of at least 30months, the bottles are subjected to the operation of remuage and degorgement before being packaged and marketed, at least 2 months after that operation. The color is pale pink with delicate nuances of copper and old gold. The aroma has classic tones, which evoke the vine, yellow peaches and blackcurrants. It shows an excellent complexity and slight mineral scents. The taste is delicate, fresh and fruity. It has a pleasant, harmonious and balanced character. It has a soft and persistent mousse with an excellent perlage. Contains sulphites. Produced by Azienda Agricola "La Gerla" di Zanotti Marialuisa - Gussago - Italy.
