Light golden in the glass, the nose is fresh and delicate with aromas of green apple, strawberries and cream. Lively effervescence tapers nicely into the palate.
A dash of Vermentino (15%) added to the classic Pinot Noir / Chardonnay blend is a welcome input, adding green apple flavours to the textural complexity and creaminess of the Chardonnay. Good length on the palate, Pinot Noir bringing elegance to the finish.
