Description

This sparkling wine stands out as an extraordinary bubble, characterized by the peculiar philosophy of Casa Caterina. This company stands out as the only one in the region with an exclusive presence of vineyards cultivated with the Guyot and spurred cordon systems.

Production follows manual management of each phase of winemaking, with a traditional "à la volée" disgorgement. Each bottle is unique and hand-stamped with key dates, including harvest, draw and disgorgement, with an indication of the serial number in relation to the 6,000 total bottles produced.

The golden color and the fine and persistent perlage introduce a pleasantly intense bouquet, with notes of bread crust, buttery accents and slightly smoky tones. On the palate, the wine is round, with good flavor and excellent persistence.

Excellent in combination with seafood appetizers, it also goes well with stewed fish.
