The Story
A magnificent Northern Italian sparkling white wine displaying a light straw yellow color with fine, persistent bubbles. Masterfully envisioned by Master Sommelier Bobby Stuckey and Chef Lachlan Patterson, this high-spirited Spumante is crafted from sustainably grown Glera and a small touch of Chardonnay harvested from the rolling hills of Friuli and Veneto. The expressive nose opens with a soaring, aromatic bouquet of exotic flowers, fresh honeydew melon, and ripe yellow apples. The complex nose is beautifully supported by regional characteristics of wild chamomile, ginger root, and fresh lemon zest. On the palate, it balances a delicate, medium-bodied stone fruit core and a vibrant, linear alpine acidity with a beautifully rounded, crisp brut texture, culminating in a clean, thoroughly refreshing finish marked by a distinct streak of chalky minerality.
Food Pairing: Pairs flawlessly with fresh fish crudités, local seafood tempura, crisp fennel and orange salads, light vegetable canapés, or as an energetic celebratory aperitif.
