Made from Pignoletto grapes grown on our hills, this wine is capable of giving extraordinary emotions. It is clear and pale straw-yellow in colour. The freshness and the liveliness of its delicate effervescence enhance the fruity notes which are typical to this variety. On the palate it is fine and fresh with an excellent aromatic persistency. If served between 8-10 °C it goes perfectly with grilled fish.
