This vintage sparkling blend of Pinot Nero and Chardonnay offers warm, yeasty notes that recall baked bread, butterscotch and crème caramel. The wine is dense, but easy-drinking at the same time, and closes on an elegant, crisp note.

Here is a deep ruby wine that sees 12 months of barrique and delivers distinct and pleasant notes of tomato leaf, sweet greens and floral tones. Its slightly more vegetal than other Cabernet-based wines from further south but its toasted and vanilla notes are also beautifully put into evidence.
