AdC SPARKLING WINE CLASSIC METHOD

From the lowest portion of the oldest Catarratto vineyard on the estate, the Extra Lucido Catarratto grapes are born, which give life to our Spumante Metodo Classico.

A vintage Extra Brut with a Mediterranean character, with citrus aromas that evolve into more complex notes, revealing the long rest on the yeasts and integrating into an elegant aromatic texture, enlivened by a very fine and persistent perlage.
