In the glass
Aroma: fresh apple, white peach, lime, mineral
Palate: crisp pear, lemon, fine chalk, light yeast
The entry Brut Valdobbiadene DOCG from Col Vetoraz. The estate's altitude above Santo Stefano produces a distinctly cool-climate Glera with sharper acidity and finer aromatics than lower-valley peers.
What it pairs with
-
Bruschetta con pomodoro fresco
Acidity and clean fruit balance the tomato's natural acidity beautifully. -
Mozzarella di bufala
Fine effervescence cuts through the milky richness of fresh buffalo mozzarella. -
Steamed mussels in white wine
Brut minerality resonates with the saline mussel liquor.
