What is Zodiac Sparkling Brut Leali?
From which grapes is it obtained?
the grapes are Chardonnay and Groppello (vinified white). Percentages may vary depending on vintage and lot.
What scents and taste should I expect?
It can be perceived with citrus and white-fleshed fruit aromas; the palate is Brut, so it is dry, fresh and clean, with a mineral finish.
What is the method of sparkling wine making?
It is a Metodo Classico with re-fermentation in the bottle and a stay on the lees for about 12 months, for a finer perlage and delicate bakery aromas.
What do I pair it with?
I suggest it as an aperitif and with fish (raw, tartare, sushi, light fried foods), but it also works very well with fresh cheeses and finger foods.
