Main characteristics Grapes: A unique blend made up of 70% Verdello (a native grape variety from the Orvieto area that ensures excellent natural acidity) and 30% Chardonnay.
Terroir: The vineyards are located at about 350 meters above sea level, cultivated on volcanic and tuffaceous soils, an element that gives the sparkling wine a marked savory character.
Vinification and Aging: The first fermentation takes place in stainless steel at a controlled temperature, followed by aging on fine lees for about 6 months before tirage. The second fermentation takes place in the bottle according to the Traditional Method.Style (Zero Dosage): At disgorgement, no dosage syrup (liqueur d'expédition) is added.
