The grapes for this vintage were meticulously selected from vines that thrive in the calcareous clay soils of the region, benefiting from the Mediterranean climate’s warm days and cool nights.

Upon pouring, the 2018 vintage presents a luminous golden color, enlivened by its vibrant effervescence. The nose is immediately captivated by an elegant bouquet of aromas, blending ripe stone fruits, fresh citrus, and floral notes with a sophisticated undercurrent of toasted almonds and brioche, a testament to its prolonged aging.
