A vintage traditional-method sparkling wine from the San Leonardo estate in Trentino’s Adige Valley. In the glass, it’s all about clarity and cut — bright citrus and crisp green apple up front, with a faint herbal note that gives it real character. Time on the lees brings gentle layers of toasted bread, almond and a touch of brioche, but it never feels heavy. The palate is dry, taut and confidently structured, driven by firm acidity and a fine, persistent bead, finishing long and savoury with a lovely mineral edge. Produced under the Trento DOC appellation, the base wine is fermented in stainless steel and kept on its lees for six months with regular bâtonnage to build texture and structure. It then undergoes second fermentation in bottle and is aged for a minimum of 60 months before disgorgement, giving the wine depth and fine, persistent mousse.
