CULTIVATION ENVIRONMENT
Terre della Baronia: a unique terroir with 9 different areas and sub areas. The portions of vineyard in the areal Munti were planted with the clonal selections of Inzolia combined with those of Milici planted with Chardonnay, the location benefis from a soil of medium texture with a good presence of limestone skeleton that enhances the dorsal acidic backbone. These are key elements to create an high-quality classic method. Moreover, thanks to the climate specific characteristics of the hills surrounding Campobello di Licata, the selected varietals reach a full maturation preserving freshness, elegance and aromatic. A Mediterranean style expressed trough agronomic and oenological choices that preserve and exhalts the territorial expression.

SENSORY PROFILE
An intense foam and a fine and persistent perlage. Brilliant straw yellow color with refined crown. To the nose an aromatic vegetable attributable to the Mediterranean scrub that evolves towards aromas of candied white fruit, closing with spiciness and pleasant mineral hints. In the mouth is sapid and very persistent, elegant and refined.
