Pairing Aperitifs, fish, crustacean-based dishes
In the glass it opens with a web of fine bubbles and a creamy texture that immediately wraps the palate. The aromas recall ripe green apple, peeled citrus and a delicate note of freshly baked bread; all supported by lively freshness and a salinity that defines its character. The style remains one of clear elegance, without excess, intended for those who seek precision and harmony more than power. It is a measured expression of Franciacorta DOCG, able to combine freshness and creaminess without losing vitality.

On the palate it is fresh and vertical, with a well-balanced body and a softness that does not cancel the acidic tension; the finish is persistent and leaves an impression of cleanliness that invites the next sip. Excellent both as an aperitif and paired with raw seafood, fish risottos or medium-mature cheeses; ideal for convivial moments and refined menus. Serve chilled, around 6–8 °C, to appreciate its finesse and overall balance.
