In the glass
Aroma: lemon, apple, lemongrass, apple compote
Palate: Mediterranean herbs, yeast, green apple
Pale yellow with the faintest orange cast and an abundant, persistent mousse. The house calls this its direct, decisive bottle: brut at the low end of the band, so the ripe apple acidity stays in front.
What it pairs with
-
Aperitif on its own
Bjana positions the Brut as an opening wine; the cut of the acidity works without food. -
Fried anchovies
Bubbles and low dosage scrub fried food from the palate. -
Brda prosciutto
Acidity cuts the cure and the herbal note answers the salt.
